3 Pre-Teens Taken In for Macy's Shoplifting Spree

Girls as young as 11 try to outfit themselves under their own clothing but attract plenty of attention in doing so at the Mayfair Mall store.

It takes something to stand out from the parade of retail theft reports that marches through the weekly police blotter. In this case, tender age. At 4 p.m. Friday, three Milwaukee girls, two of them 12 years old and the third just 11, were arrested for theft from Macy’s at Mayfair Mall after they drew suspicion for randomly selecting clothing without checking prices or sizes. They headed toward the fitting rooms, so a female loss prevention officer was sent to quickly check that the rooms were empty of merchandise. All three girls crowded into the same fitting room. The security agent could see beneath the divider that they were pulling off their pants, pulling on unpaid-for pants, then putting their own back on. They were stopped as they …

Two Courtroom Regulars Charged in Separate Thefts at Mayfair

Both defendants have extensive criminal backgrounds and pending cases, and one was being sought on a felony warrant for burglary.

  Retail theft, even for some repeat offenders, often draws only a municipal citation or at most a low-level criminal misdemeanor charge. But two men arrested over the weekend for thefts at Mayfair Mall are getting the proverbial book thrown at them – in part for what they are accused of stealing but mainly because of their criminal records and current status with the courts. Justin L. Nash, 19 was charged Tuesday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with one count of felony retail theft and one count of felony bail jumping. If convicted, he faces up to 4½ years in prison and $20,000 in fines. According to the criminal complaint: At 10:43 p.m. Sunday, with the mall closed except for the AMC Theater, a security officer at Mayfair monitoring …

Excellent, non-racist and truthful remarks 3393. Some of these comments from enablers like Nancy reveal why 50 years of entitlement programs supported by people who think like her have been an utter failure to the people they intended to help and a drain on society. They will always play the race card, along with their other favorites--guilt and pity. Remember--they know and care more than the …   more ›
