At least twopolice officers in a Louisiana Wal-Mart were caught by an NBC news crew apparently stealing several items from the store. The news crew shows several different people grabbing different items from the store and the reporter notes that the police say that it is okay to steal.

"And we actually saw the police," veteranNBC reporter Martin Savidge says. "They're in aisle three."

The camera crew then catches two uniformed female police officers pushing a cart full of loot whileperusing the store.

"Hi--what are you doing here," a person off camera asks one female police officer. "I'm doing my job," the officer says. "What taking shoes?" the reporter asks.

"No--looking for looters."

The officer then implies a threat to the reporter and his crew, and walks away. The video then shows the other officer pushing the shopping cart casually through the store.

Savidge wraps up the segment by saying that you can only laugh, even though stealing is "grossly against the law."

"When you have the police in there looting, that is a problem," Savidge concludes.

The video first aired on MSNBC on Tuesday night.

One note: Some outlets have identified the uniformed officers as "security guards." But the reporter on the sceneclearly calls them "police."
