Several people in Halifax say they've seen armed Halifax Regional Police officers in full uniform patrolling Superstore locations in the municipality in recent days and want to know why they are there. "I was very curious if the city was paying him to be there or Superstore," she said. When he went inside, a police officer in uniform was inside standing guard at the entrance. "I would certainly be much more comfortable shopping at a store that doesn't treat their customers as presumed criminals," she said. Halifax Regional Police said data on theft from grocery stores in the municipality is not readily available.
