JANESVILLE—The FBI is now involved in the investigation into what’s believed to be a related string of recent robberies in Lake Mills, Beloit and Janesville.
On Monday, a man held up a Janesville Best buy employee at gunpoint and stole a pair of MacBook laptop computers, police said in a Wisconsin Crime Alert Network release.
According to that release, a white man wearing a blue Golden State Warriors hoodie sweatshirt entered the store at 2850 Deerfield Drive in Janesville shortly after 5 p.m. Monday. He asked a store employee for two MacBooks, and when the employee brought the merchandise, the man displayed a black handgun he was carrying in the front sweatshirt pocket.
