Cocaine at WM

We previously noted an ecstasy bust in a WM parking lot. Now comes the cocaine:

[L]aw enforcement officers set up surveillance in the Wal-mart parking lot in Brookfield to watch the transaction between the three suspects take place.

Officers seized approximately 18 ounces of cocaine with a street value of about $48,000.

WM is often accused of increasing crime in areas near the store. Does it actually increase crime overall, or just concentrate it in a smaller area?
