Authorities in Mississippi have detained a woman accused of inserting razor blades into loaves of bread at two Walmart stores, according to Fox 26 Houston. The Biloxi Police Department has identified the suspect as 33-year-old Camille Benson from Texas. She faces charges of attempted mayhem and is currently held with a bond set at $100,000.

Reports of razor blades being discovered in bread emerged over a span of more than a week at two local Walmart locations: a Walmart Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market.

The first incident was reported on December 5 at the Walmart Supercenter when a customer alerted staff after finding a razor blade in their bread, as reported by the Associated Press (AP). A similar complaint surfaced on December 8 at the Neighborhood Market.

Camille Benson has been accused of embedding razor blades into bread at various Walmart stores in Biloxi, Mississippi, as confirmed by the Biloxi Police Department.

Six days later, another customer complained at the Supercenter on Dec. 14, prompting employees to inspect the merchandise, where they discovered several additional tampered loaves, the AP reported, citing law enforcement officials.

Fox 26 Houston added that two similar complaints were made again on Dec. 15, according to the police.

A motive has not been determined.

Walmart advised customers who think they may have bought a tampered product to dispose of it immediately and visit their local store for a full refund.

“The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority,” a Walmart spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “We have removed and thoroughly inspected all potentially affected products at impacted stores in Biloxi. We appreciate law enforcement for their swift action and will continue cooperating with them as they investigate.”

The Biloxi Police Department said officials currently do not believe any other stores have been targeted, according to the AP.  

They added that any bread purchased from Walmart stores within the city should be inspected for sharp objects.
