subject: Christmas Retail Nightmare: Attempted Shoplifter Stabs Security Guard [print this page] The manager of the large department store was tired. With just three days before Christmas he had been working fourteen hours per day minimum since the day after Thanksgiving. His feet were killing him and he was worried his store total sales would not reach last years figures. He needed to have three brisk days of business. At 8:30 p.m. he got a call from security that a shoplifting was in progress over in the computer and games department. As he approached the section he saw two of his security guards seek to physically apprehend the suspect. Fortunately they were behind an aisle that could not be observed by other customers at that point in time because customers were dispersed elsewhere.
As he got closer, he saw the perpetrator pull out a knife and stab one of the guards. He ran over and assisted the other guard literally tackling the man wielding the knife and immediately called his assistant manager to get emergency medical help and direct that they come around to the back of the store. He then called 911 and requested the police do the same. By 8:40 they both had arrived and the injured security guard was lifted on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Further the police arrested the shoplifter.
His big problem now was getting that part of the store back into the shape necessary for it to be open to the public by the next morning and to be able to state unequivocally that there is no undue health risk that would result from shopping there. The police officer had recommended he call ablood scene cleaner company or trauma scene cleaner company. The company he called, Advanced Bio-Treatment,also did crime scene cleanups, accident scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups not to mention staph infection scene cleanups so they were well suited for the task.
The person at the company with whom they spoke understood the gravity of the situation and the time constraints under which they had to operate. They sent out a crew that arrived about ten thirty p.m. and cleaned and decontaminated the affected area of the store by 2 a.m. As the manager lay down to get two or three hours of sleep before the two busiest days of the year he was able to sleep well because he had learned his security guard was fine and he knew his computer and games department would be open and immaculate in the morning.
