Two Milwaukee teens arrested in connection with a Christmas Eve crime spree are expected to be charged in the coming days. This, after they allegedly stole a car and hit two Milwaukee police officers.
According to police, it all started when the two 16-year-old boys broke into a United States Postal Service vehicle and stole property on Saturday, December 24th near Hadley and Pierce. The suspects then used keys obtained from a purse in the theft to steal another vehicle.
"I was walking north on Pierce on the east side of the street. I saw a Post Office mailman car/vehicle. I saw the window all broken into, and then I saw a couple police officers. I could see someone damaged the car," Linda Thorson said.
The vehicle that was stolen, a Kia Spectra, was located by District 5 officers at Holton and Center around 3:00 p.m.
