Grafton, WI – Four suspects are in custody following an early morning police standoff in Grafton connected to a residential burglary that occurred in Beaver Dam late Tuesday night, according to the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said the burglary was reported around 11 p.m. Tuesday, January 27, involving a large amount of stolen U.S. currency and jewelry. Investigators later tracked a black Dodge Durango with Nebraska plates believed to be linked to the crime.
According to authorities, a deputy located the suspect vehicle around 3:45 a.m. Wednesday, January 28, parked outside a residence in the 500 block of Lake Shore Road in the Town of Grafton. A perimeter was quickly established with help from multiple police agencies.
Officials said two individuals initially fled the residence but retreated inside. A tactical team and drone unit were deployed, and after repeated commands, all four occupants exited the home and were arrested without incident.
A search of the home uncovered evidence tied to the Beaver Dam burglary. Investigators also said the Grafton residence had been used as a short-term rental by the suspects.
Lake Shore Road was temporarily closed between Lakefield and Falls Roads during the standoff, and residents nearby were asked to shelter in place. The area reopened around 7:37 a.m.
The four suspects remain held at the Ozaukee County Jail awaiting charges that may include possession of stolen property, criminal damage to property, and failure to comply with law enforcement orders.
