City of Brookfield police arrested a 21-year-old Milwaukee woman who stole $300 worth of jewelry from a Brookfield department store and threatened to use a knife on loss prevention officers who tried to stop her.
Police responded to a call at Brookfield Square, 95 N. Moorland Road, at 5:25 p.m. March 9 for a report of a retail theft. Employees of Boston Store said three women had taken several items of jewelry from the store, and one of them had threatened to use knife on store employees.
Police found the three women in the mall's J.C. Penney store and took them into custody. Police did not find a knife on the Milwaukee woman and she admitted that she didn't have one, but since she had threatened to harm employees, she was arrested for armed robbery.
Two other Milwaukee women, ages 18 and 19, were arrested for theft for taking $205 in jewelry from Boston Store.
