Two armed men arrested following attempted retail theft at Target
MADISON, Wis .March 31 2020 — Two men were arrested Friday afternoon following a theft-gone-wrong at the Target near Hilldale Mall.
Police said the incident started with a retail-theft-in-progress call with one suspect who was armed with a knife. When officers arrived at the store, they arrested 36-year-old Raymond M. Sanchez.
