When a clerk from another Mayfair store is found with a dress stolen from hers and is allowed to keep working, aggrieved owners of the merchandise take it to the police.
A clerk and her manager at one Mayfair Mall store, incensed that management at another mall shop allowed a young woman to go on working after allegedly taking part in a theft, decided to call police and have her investigated. As a result, the suspect was indeed unable to finish her shift – she was arrested on two outstanding warrants, for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The 19-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested Dec. 22 after a stolen dress was found in her possession. She had entered the Forever 21 store with a young man, and a clerk recognized her as an employee of Skechers and him as an employee of Ann Taylor, both of whom, she said, stopped in about once a week. The Forever 21 clerk said the young man asked his companion …

A 16-year-old Milwaukee boy was banned from all Wauwatosa School District property after two East High girls complained that he had been stalking them, waiting for them after school and approaching as they walked home.

She told her parents about it when she got home, and they contacted police and school officials. Meanwhile, another girl had also became a target …

Guaranty Bank teller made fraudulent deposit and withdrawals, then just stopped coming to work.
Bank officials and police believe that a teller made a brazen theft and then invited quick suspicion by simply refusing to show up for work again. At 12:34 p.m. Friday, police went to the Guaranty Bank branch at Sentry, 6700 W. State St., to investigate a report from a bank officer that an employee had stolen $2,500 from the branch office. The employee had not shown up for work the day before, and another employee who stopped at her home was told she wouldn’t be going in. The branch manager became suspicious and checked into her activity Wednesday. The suspect was seen on video just after her shift ended going to her computer terminal and making some kind of after-hours entry. A check of the computer showed she had made a fraudulent …
