MILWAUKEE -- With the help of an alert neighbor, Milwaukee police arrested two suspects following a burglary on the city’s west side.

District Three officers responded to the area of N. 39th and W. Vliet around 10:40 a.m. on December 23rd after a neighbor saw two men break into a home, steal electronics, and put the stolen items into a nearby vacant home.

When officers arrived, they found the suspects inside the vacant home along with two of the stolen televisions and several other electronics.

The suspects, 18-year-old Jarmon Turner and 23-year-old Rodney Shelton, were arrested and subsequently charged by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office with one count each of burglary.
