WAUKESHA (WITI) -- Waukesha police caught a couple of burglars in the act of stealing from the Hop It Market on Lincoln Ave. on Wednesday morning, February 27th.

Officers set up a perimeter around the business with help from the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. Around 5:30 a.m., the two individuals inside exited the market from a rear door. Both were arrested on the spot.

The suspects are a 29-year-old man from Brookfield and a 25-year-old man from Colgate.
