Greenfield Avenue Store Robbed in Second Brookfield Holdup in Week

Westbrook Beverage Center was held up Sunday night by two suspects whose descriptions matched that from an Oct. 10 robbery of a Brookfield Subway restaurant.

In the second armed robbery in Brookfield in a week, was held up Sunday evening by two men wearing all black clothing and black bandanas and displaying a weapon, police say.

The two fled with an undisclosed amount of cash about 9 p.m. Sunday from the liquor store, 13430 W. Greenfield Ave., according to police reports.

The description of the suspects matched an Oct. 10 at the southeast corner of Capitol Drive and Brookfield Road. But Police Capt. Jim Adlam said Monday it was too early to know if the armed robberies were connected, and Brookfield police are working with other communities on an investigation of similar robberies.
