MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WFRV) – Authorities in Milwaukee are working to improve community safety after an investigation led to the seizure of firearms, stolen vehicles, and key fobs linked to high-end auto thefts.
The Milwaukee Police Department’s Violent Crime Reduction Team began investigating a suspect accused of stealing luxury vehicles using re-programming devices. The investigation led to a search warrant in the 7600 block of West Wabash Court.
