Shorewood Police Release Information on Tuesday Night's Large Police Presence near Metro Market

Shorewood Police Department released information on a robbery at the Metro Market on Tuesday that caused a large police presence.

According to police, this stemmed from a simple retail theft.

A suspect stole items and ran out of the store. While being chased by loss prevention, the suspect stated that he was armed.

The suspect was last seen running through back yards and because he stated that he was armed, loss prevention officers discontinued chasing him.
