LOS ANGELES - A disturbing video surfaced on Tuesday of three rats roaming
around inside a Los Angeles area 99 Cents Only store.

The man who took the video, Ranel Amigo, told FOX 11 that he was waiting
for a nearby bus when he saw as many as three rats running around inside
the store, located near the corner of S. Alvarado Street and Wilshire
Blvd. in Westlake.

The video showed a large rat scuffle along the floor inside the 99 Cents
Only store on Monday night, two other rats could also be seen inside the
store in the background of the video. One was underneath a bin of sports
equipment for sale and the other was seen momentarily running past an isle
of canned food.

Amigo said he found the sight quite alarming as his mother frequently
shops at the store for food and other various items.

Tuesday afternoon, the 99 Cents Only Store released a statement:

�Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our food and the
cleanliness of our stores. We have taken immediate action to sanitize this
area and have stepped up our pest control enforcement both in and around
this store to make sure this issue is resolved. We have voluntarily
contacted the Los Angeles County Health Department and will be working
closely with them to resolve this issue. We apologize for this unfortunate
situation and assure our customers that we are doing everything possible
to prevent future problems from occurring.�
