Oct. 27 - Milwaukee Police quickly arrested five suspects believed to be responsible for an October 15 armed robbery on Milwaukee’s north side. A 60-year-old man was working with a friend in his garage in the 2300 block of N. Grant Boulevard when the suspects took their cell phones, money, and wallets. One of the suspects was holding a pistol grip shotgun at the time of the robbery. The suspects fled, and the victims flagged down an officer who was patrolling the area. Police Officer Doug Anderer checked the area and arrested one suspect in a nearby alley, while a second suspect was arrested by other squads that were responding to the area. Officers found the shotgun that was used in the crime in a yard the suspects had been in.

While the officers were at the scene of the robbery the victims called their credit card companies to report the cards stolen. They were told that the cards were being used at Judy’s Red Hots at 48th and Lisbon. Detectives immediately went to the restaurant and arrested three more suspects as they tried to discard the victims’ credit cards and flee.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has charged 18-year-old Marcus D. Hill and 17-year-old Charleston Bobo each with one count of Armed Robbery in connection with this offense.
