Attempted Home Burglaries Reported in Germantown

Menomonee Falls' neighbors to the north have joined a growing list of police departments investigating burglary-related crimes. 

Germantown police are investigating two incidents of attempted break-ins that occurred at roughly 1 a.m. Wednesday, according to a statement published on the Germantown Public Information Facebook page. The incidents occurred in a neighborhood on the northwest corner of Donges Bay Road and Highway 145.

The first attempted burglary involved an unlocked rear patio door of an occupied home. A family member spotted the suspect very briefly before he fled on foot. The second was a residence directly behind the first where noises were heard as if someone was trying to open the doors and a window screen was removed from its frame.

Just six days ago, Menomonee Falls police released a warning to residents about a pair of men who were attempting to burglarize a home on Stoneridge Drive. Three similar residential burglaries occurred in Brookfield days before the Falls incidents. 

Germantown police are looking for a suspect that is a black male,  20 to 40 years of age, over six feet tall, average build, large eyes, and unknown clothing other than something white near the shirt area.

The suspects in the Menomonee Falls attempted burglary were described as white males, in their 20’s, with scruffy appearances.
