The store was closed earlier for a couple of hours and we spotted the chief and other law enforcement officers inside searching with the gates down.
“I don't think they should be doing something like that, that's not their property,” said shopper Lori Rupert. “In my opinion, if it's licensed, then it's the licensed people's properties. So I don't think they should be selling something that they don't have the rights to.”
