Police are investigating potential connections to burglaries of golf courses in Brookfield and Greenfield.
Wauwatosa police arrested a 51-year-old man over the weekend for allegedly trying to burglarize Currie Park Golf Course — one of a string of suburban golf course heists to obtain ATM machines — after police set up a surveillance camera at the course and sent a live feed back to dispatchers. That camera feed alerted them that there was a suspicious man at the golf course after hours and led to his arrest. An officer also used a thermal imaging camera to look for a possible second suspect in the woods. No one was found, however. The Milwaukee man is now blaming a second man and denying that he tried to burglarize Currie Park or any other golf courses. Police are still investigating the case, including whether burglaries of golf courses in …
