ORIGINAL ARTICLE (NOVEMBER 11):
A Kings Beach Safeway has temporarily closed due to a rodent infestation.
Health inspectors found multiple rats and other signs of rodent activity inside the store, according to our CBS affiliate in Sacramento.
An inspection happened on November 9 after Placer County health officials got complaints about a possible infestation at the Safeway on North Lake Boulevard.
Inspectors reportedly found rodent droppings in a back storage area and breakroom, along with gnaw marks on food wrappers.
Officials said multiple rats were also seen running beneath pallets and through different areas of the backroom.
The county ordered the store closed until the problems are addressed and the store passes a subsequent inspection.
A spokesperson for Safeway says the store is working with the county and will be deep cleaned.
