Howard, Wis. — Brown County deputies are asking the public to help identify a woman allegedly involved in repeated retail thefts at a Howard Menards.
According to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Binford is investigating a series of theft incidents reported at the Menards store in Howard that occurred between November 2025 and February 2026.
Authorities say the same woman is believed to be involved in multiple thefts inside the store during that period. Surveillance images released by investigators show a woman inside the store and leaving with merchandise, though officials have not publicly detailed the specific items allegedly taken.
The sheriff’s office released the images this week and is asking anyone who recognizes the woman or has information related to the incidents to contact investigators.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Brown County Sheriff’s Office at 920-391-7450 or email Deputy Binford.
Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers, a nonprofit civilian organization that assists law enforcement investigations. Anonymous tips can be provided by calling 920-432-STOP (7867), visiting 432stop.com, or using the P3 Tips mobile app. Authorities say tipsters may be eligible for a reward.
Investigators have not released additional identifying details about the suspect but say public assistance can be critical in resolving retail theft investigations involving surveillance images.
Retail theft cases can affect store operations and local prices, an issue that often impacts young workers and students employed in retail positions.
The investigation remains ongoing.
