Baltimore, MD Police SWAT Team Employed To Capture Woman Who Shoplifted $8.50 of Groceries

[From article]
It was about $8.00 worth of groceries, but it cost police 7 hours and a lot of resources.
SWAT teams, a mandatory evacuation and a scissor lift–Baltimore County police pulling out all the stops to arrest a shoplifter who lodged herself above the highest walls of the Giant store in Arbutus.
Crews erring on the side of caution, fearing where the shoplifter was hiding could cause the ceiling to collapse.
Police say the woman climbed on top of some items, making her way into the area above the ceiling.

Corporal John Wachter says supermarket security detained the woman at around 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for stealing a bag of chips and some hair accessories totaling $8.50.
