The Mesa police department is currently investigating a video that has been circulating online. The footage shows a man at a Walmart store in Mesa, AZ, spraying bug spray on open food items.
ABC15 received a social media video on Friday morning, which depicted a man spraying bug spray from a can of Hot Shot onto various items at a grocery store. The video shows him spraying the bug spray on fresh produce and prepared chicken.
The video seems to have been removed, but it is circulating on various other websites.
Tempe police officials were initially aware of the individual involved in the incident and had launched an investigation. However, the video evidence has now been transferred to Mesa police for further investigation, as it appears to have been filmed at a store in Mesa, specifically located at Stapley and Baseline roads.
The Mesa police are currently conducting an active investigation into the matter. They commend the store’s proactive approach in ensuring the safety of their customers. As a precautionary measure, any affected produce has been promptly removed from areas accessible to the public.
