Another daytime burglary frustrates Waukesha police

At 2:15 p.m., another south side home was broken into, making it the 18th  incident of burglary or attempted home entry since early summer in southern section of Waukesha, Police Capt. Mark Stigler.

Police are frustrated because the burglary happened about 24 hours after law enforcement issued a public alert to be on the look out for individuals or groups of people who do not belong in the once peaceful and secure neighborhoods.

Stigler said he understands it’s hard for residents to comprehend that burglars would be so brazen as to enter homes during daytime.

The latest burglary was of a home on Green Valley, south of  Sunset Drive in the Town of  Waukesha.

“We have extra patrols down there and we really the public’s help to catch these guys,” Stigler said.

He advised that anyone who sees anything suspicious, such as an unfamiliar person in the area or backyard of a house, 911 should be called.

“Our dispatchers are on high alert,” he said.
