A Walmart in Oklahoma is drawing more than just shoppers looking for good deals.
Claremore police say the town's Walmart has been keeping them busy with calls.
Since January, police say they have responded to 281 separate criminal incidents at the location with 96 of the calls related to shoplifting.
"Some think it's an easy place to steal from," police said.
Although officers are spending a lot of time at Walmart, they're happy the loss prevention employees at the store are doing their job well.
Recently, police found a large amount of drugs on a man who was believed to be shoplifting inside the Walmart, according to KOKI.
Walmart sent as a statement regarding those calls:
"We value the partnerships we have with law enforcement agencies throughout the country, and we value their feedback and cooperation, which is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, no retailer is immune to the challenge of crime. That's why we invest in robust technologies and crime prevention efforts while also working closely with law enforcement, security professionals and community leaders."
