4 Needles Found in Walmart Clothing
Bartow County Sheriff's Office investigators believe someone is hiding uncapped needles in the store's merchandise.
At least four syringes with uncapped needles found in women and girls' clothing at Walmart have poked two people.
Bartow County Sheriff's Office authorities believe someone is hiding the needles in clothing in attempts to injure or invoke fear in victims. They are sending recovered syringes to a lab to determine if any type of substance was in the syringes that stuck victims and capture fingerprints or other identifiers.
Three customers found syringes while a fourth Walmart personnel reported to law enforcement. Syringes were found in pajamas, socks and a bra package.

Apparently this has happened other *Wal-Mart stores. Someone should try to determine if all the syringes are made by the same manufacturer. If so* there maybe of a possibility the *Federal Government* can be called in to investigate. Crossing State lines to injure or harm citizens’ could be ruled a Federal crime. Putting contaminated syringes in clothing that could harm other people maybe an act of domestic terrorism. Hopefully they were not used by an addict or a person with AIDS. Years ago it was *Mail Bombs*or *Anthrax* in envelopes.
