Robbers held a gun on a gas station attendant Sunday evening and made off with cash, cigarettes and cigars, and a Children's Miracle Network donation jar. At 5:38 p.m. Sunday, police were called to the Speedway gas station at 6804 W. North Ave., on the report of an armed robbery. A female attendant told officers that two men dressed in black hooded sweatshirts had entered the storefront, one with a handgun already drawn. He cocked the gun and said, “You know what time it is,” and told her to open the cash register. He then told her, “Get on the floor and don’t touch the button” – presumably meaning any alarm. The woman went to the floor directly below the register, she said, and while the gunman robbed the drawer of cash, the second man…

A Milwaukee woman says she was robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight Thursday afternoon in a north side bus shelter, according to police reports. At 1:40 p.m. Thursday, Wauwatosa police were called to take charge of a complaint of armed robbery. The Milwaukee woman had called Milwaukee police about 20 minutes earlier to report she had been robbed at gunpoint at the bus shelter on the northwest corner of North 92nd and West Congress streets. After determining that the shelter is actually on the Wauwatosa side of city lines, Milwaukee police turned over the investigation. The woman said she had gotten off another bus and was sitting in the shelter, waiting for transfer while talking on her iPhone. She told officers she saw a man crossing …

A West Allis man who works at Mo’s Irish Pub, 10842 Blue Mound Rd., told police he was robbed at knifepoint outside the tavern Saturday night. At about 10:30 p.m., he said, he had parked on North 108th Place, intending to meet some friends at Mo’s. In a small partly wooded area between two parking lots north of the pub, he saw a man facing away from the street and hunched over as if he might be sick. He stopped and asked the man if he was all right, but got no response. Suddenly, he said, someone grabbed him from behind and twisted his left arm behind his back, then pressed a sharp object to his neck and said, “Give me your money or I’ll cut your throat.” The victim took out his wallet with his right hand and managed to pull out his cash…

It was two minutes before the 7 p.m. Friday closing time at Landmark Credit Union on Nov. 16. Inside, staff was shutting down the drive-through, but five teller stations were still open, taking care of last-minute customers. There were even customers still sitting down with three loan officers. Outside, a Greenfield man was waiting in his car with his fiancée for her daughter, one of the tellers, to get off work. They were parked three or four spots away from the main entrance. He noticed two men who had gotten out of a car that had just backed into the parking place immediately in front of the doors. The men were masked and both were openly carrying pistols. "They are going to rob the place!" he blurted to his fiancée. Her first instinct …

Out of prison, on supervision, for an armed robbery conviction, this guy tries to slide, takes a long goodbye, wants to hide his 'I' when he's pulled to the side, now he's gonna be tried. He'll miss his lady, but he's just too shady.

Wauwatosa police put the cuffs on a man wanted for two years after he fell into the fugitive files while under extended supervision for armed robbery. At 4:34 p.m. last Friday, Lamar Cassle Vance, a 25-year-old Milwaukeean, was arrested as a fugitive felon, and for obstruction, after he was stopped at West Wisconsin Avenue and Hawley Road for displaying suspended license plates. Vance told police he had no driver’s license, but he presented a valid Wisconsin ID card. But when the name on that card came back with a warrant, and police informed him he was under arrest, Vance burst into tears and began to yell that he loved his girlfriend, who was a passenger in the car. Officers told him to calm down – the warrant was only for a traffic …

It's hard to get through to some people. A girl on probation for armed robbery met with her probation officer late Friday morning, then went right to Mayfair Mall to pick up some new clothes – with no intention of paying for them. At 2 p.m. Friday, the 17-year-old Milwaukee girl was arrested for theft from Hollister Co. at Mayfair Mall. A store security officer noticed the girl carrying some clothing, and moments later saw her walking quickly toward the door. The security alarm went off, and he followed her out and stopped her. She reached into her large purse, handed back a T-shirt and asked, “Can I go now?” Without waiting for an answer, started off toward the AMC Theaters exit. The store officer followed, believing she had more stolen …

A Wauwatosa man got a sort of swift justice for being stricken with mortal fear when he was robbed and carjacked at gunpoint by two youths right outside his own garage. His car and all his belongings were rapidly recovered, and the suspected gunman, just 15 years old, was in custody less than 45 minutes after the crime. Wauwatosa police arrested the boy — they seemed to know right where to look for him — and then amassed solid evidence against him with the help of two vigilant residents of Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood. In previously unreleased reports, Wauwatosa officers tell how on the night of Aug. 6, a hunch zeroed them in on the Milwaukee neighborhood where within minutes they spotted the stolen car and captured the teenage …

A goodnight chat in a quiet neighborhood turns into a nightmare for a Wauwatosa man and woman as three assailants approach, surround and rob them.
At 11:p.m. Sunday, two Wauwatosa residents, a 23-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, reported that they were robbed at gunpoint in the woman’s driveway by three unknown males. Wauwatosa police were called about 10 minutes later to the home in the 900 block of North 72nd Street and by that time could find no trace of the suspects. The pair told officers that they had been standing at the foot of her drive, near his parked car, chatting, when they noticed three people approaching. Both said that at first the three were together, but a moment later they had split up, with one on the sidewalk, one in the street and the third now out of sight. The one walking in the street came up to the pair, said, “Hey bro’," and then said “Get on the …
