June 7 (Reuters) – A Walmart store near St. Louis, Missouri
was evacuated briefly on Thursday after employees confronted a
suspected shoplifter and found what they believed to be a mobile
methamphetamine lab in the woman’s purse, a St. Louis County
police dispatcher said.
Employees called police and the store was closed briefly
while a hazardous materials team investigated.
Police arrested the suspected shoplifter and the store was
subsequently re-opened, the dispatcher said.
No other details were immediately available.
