"We are taking an active role in helping law enforcement in their pursuit of shoplifters...," Rite Aid wrote in a statement.

In a move to combat retail theft, a Compton Rite Aid put a majority of its products behind lock and key. The community is divided on the decision.

The Rite Aid store on Long Beach Boulevard in Compton is one of the stores that began to lock up almost every single item under lock and key. From paper plates, to candy, Ziploc bags and soda, products that are under $10 were all locked in the store shelves.
