Wauwatosa police chase; 2 arrested after retail theft
WAUWATOSA, Wis. - Wauwatosa police got a call last week that two shoplifters were on the run.
Police said two people stole from the Mayfair Collection on Monday, Feb. 19, before speeding off in a blue pickup truck. Authorities spotted the truck near I-41 and Burleigh and attempted to pull it over multiple times.
That's when police came up with a plan to get the truck to stop. They set up tire deflation sticks, getting the truck to weave all over the road and eventually start to lose control.
