Saturday night, 11th and Beecher. Cameras inside and outside showed a young man jumping into the Taqueria La Parrilla MC food truck, grabbing the register drawer, and then he and his accomplice grabbed the cash and fled. Unlike the Guerraguezza restaurant truck, this time he was able to rip the entire drawer out of the register and pull it outside, even taking the time to collect the cash lying on the sidewalk before the two drove off. The truck was parked near 13th and Mitchell when it was struck. At the end of a busy night, robbers are on the hunt for a large sum of money. Milwaukee police provided surveillance video images of a third robbery that occurred shortly after midnight Sunday at a La Flamita truck parked at 19th and Nationwide. The third robbery was particularly concerning because one of the robbers had two guns in each hand. The other man is ironically described as wearing the same sweatshirt from the previous La Gaza robbery. Taco Truck is kind of our spot because it's convenient and the food is good. I understand why people would try to rob them. On the news on the 12th, City Councilman Jose Perez contacted kitchen truck owners throughout the South Side neighborhood, warning them to report any robberies to the police and asking them not to withdraw cash. It turns out I suggested moving it away from the window. Nick Boer got 12 news at No. 13 and Mitchell for Milwaukee. Anyone who recognizes the suspect in these photos is asked to call Milwaukee Police.Yo

Food truck drivers in Milwaukee are on high alert after a robbery on the south side over the weekend. In at least one robbery, young men used guns. In one incident Saturday night at 11th and Boettcher Streets, surveillance footage from inside and outside shows a young man jump onto a Taqueria La Parilla Mixe food truck, grab the register drawer, and attack the man. The footage shows the suspect and his accomplice stealing the cash and running away. The same night, two similarly dressed young men were seen coming from another truck, Guerraguezza Restaurant, parked at 13th and Mitchell Streets. This time, he was able to rip the entire drawer off the register and pull it outside, and also took the time to collect the cash lying on the sidewalk before the two drove off. Milwaukee police provided surveillance video images of a third robbery that occurred shortly after midnight Sunday at a La Flamita truck parked at 19th Street and National Avenue. In this robbery, one of the robbers is seen holding two guns. The other man is wearing the same sweatshirt he wore during the Guelaguezza robbery earlier. Ironically, it says “respect.” “Taco Truck is kind of our spot because it's convenient and the food is good. I don't understand why people would try to rob them,” said regular customer Melissa Feal. WISN Milwaukee City Councilman Jose Perez has contacted food truck owners across the South Side, reminding them to report robberies to the police and suggesting they move cash withdrawals away from tellers. I found out on 12 News.
