'Bored' Man Tries Breaking Into Pick 'n Save With Axe For Snickers Bars

A Brookfield man is facing charges after he allegedly tried to break into a Pick ‘n Save with an axe so he could get some candy bars after a night partying in Wauwatosa.

Steven A. El-Mabruk, 20, was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Friday with attempted burglary for the Aug. 31 incident at , 2205 N. Calhoun Rd.

According to the criminal complaint:

Elmabruk had been at a party in Wauwatosa and was dropped off at his home in the early hours of Aug. 31, when he got “bored” and decided to go for a walk. But before he left he grabbed an axe. While out on his walk about 5:07 a.m., he passed the Pick ‘n Save and thought about breaking in so he could get some candy and something to drink.

He first tried to break out a few windows, but his attempts were unsuccessful. He then successfully smashed the axe through the front door of the store and was going to take two Snickers bars. However, he saw an employee, got scared and left.

The employee called 911 and Elmabruk was arrested a short time later, according to the complaint.

He will make his initial appearance in court Dec. 7.
