Shorewood Teen Charged in Armed Robbery of Tosa Target
Suspect brandished a knife at an employee, then took several iPads before fleeing the store.
A Shorewood teenager is facing felony charges for allegedly for iPads in September.
According to the criminal complaint, on Sept. 19, Roc-Mond Williams-Raheem, 17, went to Target, 3900 N. 124th St., Wauwatosa and asked an employee for assistance in purchasing an iPad out of a secured glass case. The employee got the iPad out of the case and when she turned around with it, Raheem was holding a knife in his hand.
He then took the iPad, plus four more out of the case, put them in a backpack and fled from the store. He was later identified by police and confessed to the crime while being interviewed.
