EXPOSE WALMART TOUR PRESS CONFERENCE AT STATE CAPITOL WALMART’S COST OF CRIME ON TOP OF AGENDA

Details

According to an analysis of public records by the Making Change at Walmart campaign, the Walmart at 2700 Mountaineer Blvd in South Charleston generated 744 police service calls to 911 during 2016. The top reason was shoplifting or larceny. Calls on those two topics accounted for 31% off all 911 calls from that Walmart last year.
