[VIDEO] Wauwatosa Police Officer Jumps Rooftop-to-Rooftop in 'Hollywood-Style' Arrest of Burglary Suspect

WAUWATOSA -- A story that was first reported by Wauwatosa Patch.com published last week has been gaining attention across the Milwaukee area for the daring efforts of Wauwatosa police to catch a home burglar.

In that story, titled "While You Were Sleeping: Burglary Suspect Breaks into Two Wauwatosa Homes, Steals Cars," Wauwatosa police tracked down a man responsible for breaking into Wauwatosa homes overnight to steal cars, personal belongings.

The story ends in dramatic fashion, as officers from Milwaukee and Wauwatosa worked together - first by jumping out of the bushes to apprehend the suspect mid-robbery, then chasing him down the street and then from rooftop to rooftop (we're not kidding) to get their man.

WTMJ 4 took a deep dive into the story, re-visiting the scene of the apprehension, tracing the man's flight from authorities and interviewing the officers who made this "Hollywood-Style" apprehension possible. It's great neighborhood crime reporting by the TV station, highlighting exceptional work by law enforcement.
