Washington Township, Mar 20, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The public address system in the Walmart store in southern New Jersey is all set to undergo a major change after it was used to make racially motivated announcement last weekend. The incident has managed to create quite a buzz with police authorities also taking a person in custody with regard to the incident.

Shoppers who were present at the Southern New Jersey retail store were in for the shock of their lives when someone asked all the black people present to leave the store immediately, through the public address system of the store. Owing to the incident, the Walmart authorities have taken the decision to decrease the number of phones that have access to the public address system in the retail store. Meanwhile, authorities who have been investigating the incident have divulged that the racially offensive remarks could have been made from any of the two dozen phones present at the retail store. While highlighting the circumstances which might have led to the incident, Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office has revealed that the two dozen phones inside the store can easily be used by the general public and as all of them are not within the range of security cameras, someone could have used the phones to make the objectionable comments.

Meanwhile, the Washington Township police have declared that it has made an arrest in the case although details of the arrest have remained unavailable as of now. It has been revealed through the department’s website that a news conference would be held later today in which details of the arrest are likely to be furnished.
