Taco Stop car theft: South Milwaukee police seek 2 suspects
SOUTH MILWAUKEE, Wis. - South Milwaukee police are investigating an auto theft that occurred at the Taco Stop on N. Chicago Avenue on Monday, Nov. 8.
Around 2 p.m. on Monday, two individuals reportedly entered the restaurant, pretended to place an order, and stole a set of keys and a wallet that was behind the counter. Those items belonged to an employee of the restaurant.
Officials say surveillance cameras captured pictures of the persons suspected in this crime.

"For you to show up at work and then look and notice that, at a moment’s notice, your belongings are gone. Your car is gone. It’s a horrible feeling," Agiss said.
The burgundy Chevy Trax was the worker's first car – adding to the heartbreak.
"She’s shaken up," Agiss said.
Agiss hopes the thieves are recognized and caught.
"People aren’t sitting around and taking it. A lot of people are very upset," Agiss said. "If I was them I would think twice. There’s a lot of eyes out there."
