Chip Brewster FOX6 Reporter 4:15 p.m. CST, January 23, 2012 WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE— Milwaukee police in District Seven say they've seen at least six Craigslist related robberies in the past month! Monday, they presented a simple solution: do your business in a police station, where help is only steps away. Buying and selling on Craigslist has been equated to "robbery by appointment" by Milwaukee police. In Milwaukee Police - District Seven alone, the website has led to at least four robberies in the last week. The most recent incident occurred Sunday night shortly before 6:30 at a Speedway gas station on Appleton and Hampton. A 33-year-old man was meeting a potential buyer of his cell phone. That's when the purchaser got into the seller's car, pulled out a gun, and made the man drive to a nearby alley, where he got away with two cell phones and some cash. For both buyers and sellers, police say the meeting place and time are key. Even Craigslist suggests a public meeting place, during the day. Buyers specifically should pay attention to the price. If the item is well undervalued, police say that's an indicator that it's either stolen or they're setting you up to rob you. Police even suggest going to a police district and performing transactions there. MPD is encouraging Craigslist buyers and sellers to do their business in a place where help is mere steps away. It's one way even the most suspicious ads can be followed up on, without fear. "The Milwaukee Police Department is not going to get involved in your transaction, but the lobby of a police station is the safest place for you to go. You're surrounded by police officers," Milwaukee Police Officer Lisa Saffold said. Police are searching for the suspect from Sunday's robbery. He's described as a black male, around 25 years old, five feet, eight inches tall, weighing 165 pounds. Police say while the Craigslist robberies are numerous, it's rare they don't catch the criminal. http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-20120123-craigslist-robberies,0,7171207.story Be advised that this can pertain to any other type of personal sales through newspaper, Ebay local pick-up only, or any other type of internet advertisements.   PO Hue KONG Milwaukee Police Department District Three Liaison Officer 414-935-7700 hkong@milwaukee.gov Thank you,     Community Liaison Officer Jesus Gloria Milwaukee Police Department \ District Two \ 245 W.

Increase in Burglaries

The information below is on an increase in residential and garage burglaries in two separate areas in District 6 from our CLO's. Please pass this information to anyone that you know that lives near these areas. Also even if you reside in a different area, take warning, these people tend to move around. It's that time of year. Steve From District 6 CLO Carlos Felix: Officer Klein has sent out some info regarding burglaries; which is in the below email. We are also experiencing some residential burglaries in the 2900 block of S. Clement Ave.  Can you please pass this info on so all can look out for each other.    From Officer Felix's new CLO partner Officer John Klein: We have had an increase of Garage Burglaries from S.12th St. to S 16th St. and from W. Dakota to W. Morgan with most of them occurring in the early mornings after midnight.  If you could please inform your members to make sure they are locking their garage doors and if they park a car outside to take the garage door opener into the house.  Also have them take any non essential winter equipment such as lawn mowers and put them in the basement if possible.  We will have extra patrols in that area, but tell your members to call the Police if they see anything that they feel is suspicious
