Crime Corner: Reports Include a Bad Week for Cats, Unusual Animal Story

Incidents reported in the last two weeks from the Muskego Police Department indicate that the heat must be getting to people, and perhaps a few animals.  It was also not a good time to be a cat in Muskego:

Friday, June 24 – A Good Samaritan got more than she bargained for when she stopped to help a family of raccoons near Racine Ave. and Parker Dr. and the animals crawled in her car.  Officers were able to remove the animals and set them loose without injury.
