WI security guard found breaking into business
WAUKESHA, WI October 30 2019— Waukesha police had to figure out why a security guard would need to pick the lock of a store where he was stationed — making it the second security guard-related police call in the area this month.
According to Waukesha Police call logs, officers were called out to the Rue 21 clothing store on W. Sunset Drive at just before midnight on Oct. 16 on a report of a burglary.
Reports indicated a man wearing a security uniform picked the lock in front of the store in order to get inside.
According to call logs, when the witness questioned why the security guard had to pick the store’s lock, he reportedly told the witness he needed to because the store did not provide him with a key.
When police arrived, they questioned the man and confirmed he was a security guard who worked on the property, but they did not say of he was authorized to break into the business.
The Oct. 16 incident was the second police call in the area involving a security guard.
Earlier this month, Waukesha Police were called to the Bath and Body Works on West Sunset Drive because a bored security guard found a way to pass the time — and got into some trouble.
According to police call logs, offers were called to the store at just after 2 a.m. after the security guard called police.
When police arrived, they learned the security guard handcuffed himself and couldn’t get free because he left his keys at home.
Police said the responding police officer used his handcuff key to take the cuffs off the security guard. He told the officer that he was going to put the handcuffs in his bag for the night so it wouldn’t happen again.
According to police call logs, the security guard told the officer two things: He did it because he was bored as there was nothing going on … and it was not the first time that he had handcuffed himself and forgot the key.
