Wis. jewelry robbers fleeced as they flee
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Two robbers leaving a south side Milwaukee jewelry store with cash and gems didn't get far with the loot.
Police said a group of robbers met the two as they walked out and robbed them.
According to police Lt. Thomas Welch, a fight broke out in the street before the groups got in vehicles and a chase ensued.
Welch said officers pulled over both vehicles and arrested four people, including the original two robbers, ages 40 and 31, and two men from the second group, of ages 22 and 27. All four are from Illinois.
But he said police didn't recover any cash or jewelry and are searching for more suspects in Wednesday's incident.
There's no immediate estimate of the value of the things taken.

I do hope the victims at the jewelry store are okay and I apologize if my comments offend anyone but every time I see this story on the news, I can’t get The Benny Hill Show theme song out of my mind. http://www.televisiontunes.com/Benny_Hil...
We need more crooks to catch crooks and then all of them go to jail. It could be a new TV show, The Numbskull Squad". LOL

Why did I laugh when I read the part about all four of them being from Illinois?
