creek-- customers come and go without issue- but last week-- 05:37 that's just crazy. three people were stopped--before they could ever leave the store. 06:11 i'm glad that they caught them. very good. stacy harvey, yolanda holmes and bernesha thompson are accused of stealing thousands of dollas to a criminal complaint-- meijer employees had been keeping an eye on the suspects. surveillance showed the three go for large box items--like a grill and a vacuum cleaner. removing them from the boxes and replacing them with more expensive merchandise. customers are surprised by the bold crime. 05:27 i'm wondering how nobody else saw a great big huge box getting cut open and people putting things inside. the three suspects were stopped by police who say they found scissors and tape in harvey's pocket.

authorities say they found more than $9,000 worth of valuables inside...mostly electronics. a clever crime halted by authorities. 05:10 it's kind of sad that it is happening because that just trickles down to the rest of us. a search warrant reveals the oak creek store may have not been their only target. investigators believe they may be connected to thefts at several other meijer stores in illinois. stephanie? a dramatic scene at a kenosha a man walked in -- and what happened next -- led to the bomb squad being called... "nats ... explosion." we were the only television station there as the bomb squad detonated a suspicious device. it happened at the johnson bank. we're told: the robbery suspect gave the teller a note saying there was a bomb and wanted one million dollars. after a few hours -- police ordered him to

bomb. no one was injured during the incident. now to a fox six exclusive. a milwaukee man is in handcuffs after police say he was trying to impersonate a police officer. fox6's angelica sanchez joins us live outside milwaukee police district three with more angelica . ben and stephanie--- experts say there are ways to tell an officer from an impersonator. we're told this incident happened in broad daylight neat avenue. one woman says this has left her feeling uneasy. "impersonating is not a joke especially an authority like that." mahogani cheeks works at highland community school. she's been a member of this community for more than 20 years. she's concerned a man was attempting to impersonate a police officer in her neighborhood. "i'm going to stress the fact that a school is

unsettling for me as a parent and staff member." according to milwaukee police-- on thursday at 2:45 in the afternoon a 40- year-old milwaukee man identified himself as a police officer and ordered a passing driver to pull over. police have yet to say what happened next. the suspect is now in police custody. a source with fox 6 tells us he was wearing a police like uniform and his car was similar to an unmarked squad car. criminal justice expert brian dorow says incidents like this are rare but there are ways to distinguish a police impersonator. "as a l very slim chance that an unmarked squad will ever pull somebody over for a traffic stop." dorow says in the slim chance this does happen a driver should scan the officer's uniform and look for a badge. they should be able to show you an id that matches their badge number. he says a civilian has the right to request an id and the right to call authorities to report suspicion of a possible impersonator. "most departments have a protocol of some kind that when some type of police interaction is going to take place they will have a marked

officers safety as well." meanwhile residents like cheeks hope this was an isolated incident. "it's an uneasy feeling that anybody can just abuse that authority." we're told this case will be presented to the milwaukee district attorney in the coming days. reporting live outside milwaukee police district 3 i'm angelica sanchez fox6 news. the woman convicted of killing two men in a crash last december is sentenced to 15y 24-year-old jasmine ray pleaded guilty to two counts of of homicide by vehicle -- with use of a controlled substance. last december -- she crashed a stolen car into another vehicle and fled the scene. 59-year-old darrell thompson and 57- year-old terry jackson were both killed. today in court -- ray expressed her remorse to their families. you decide coverage now. vice president joe biden was in madison to campaign for hillary clinton.

"last week is last week. that's the way you have to get through and nfl football season and as a defensive back that's the way you have to survive in the nfl. because last week the packers went up against julio jones, a big tall wide receiver leading the falcons core. this week a bunch of young, fast guys for the colts." "oh man, you just keep being told you want to keep everything in front of you

a little bit different, that's about it. you know you have to have a little techniques here and there for your game. with julio, since he was a big receiver, you have to be more physical. with the quicker guys you kind of have to move your feet a little bit faster and do things a little bit quicker and cleaner." "you gotta respect them. you gotta respect the speed. they got someone in luck at quarterback that can make any throw so you gotta be able to prepare for any type of route, any type of all over the field. you know, they can stretch the field." "it's the relatively rare visit for the colts theyha to green bay since 2008. when they get here they'll play in front of the 323rd straight sell out at lambeau field. inside lambeau field, tim van vooren, fox six sports." it's an early wake up call for the badgers tomorrow as they will face northwestern in evanston at 11 am. for them, the time isn't the concern, it's getting past the wildcats in a place that the badgers have struggled since 1999.

"i think one thing that we feel that we're getting better. we know we haven't played our best whole, we're getting better stretches where we can go 3 or 4 minutes holding a team scoreless. and so hopefully we can build on that." next up, we've reached the quarterfinals and that means it's the elite 8 in every division of high school football. don't go anywhere because when we come back, we'll have the quarterfinals of the state playoffs on the high school blitz.
