Milwaukee man accused of stealing from the same Walgreens three times in a row

A Milwaukee man has been accused of stealing items from the same Walgreens store three times in a week. The items were primarily cleaning and hygiene items such as soaps, toilet paper, razors, lotions and other household goods.

John Dzwonkowski, 38, now faces two counts of retail theft, according to police records and Fox 6.

A criminal complaint states that Milwaukee police were first contacted on Sept. 18 at a store on Howell Avenue.

Officers spoke with the store manager that morning, who told them that a “thief” entered the store around 7:40 a.m. and began “taking out soaps, cosmetics and toilet paper and putting the items in a backpack.” The defendant then left the store without paying for the goods.

The complaint states the stolen items had a retail value of approximately $178.

Just two days later, officers were called to the same Walgreens location following another theft report, this time the defendant “took out razors, lotions and other cosmetic items and placed them in two bags,” the complaint states. This time the stolen goods were worth $435.

Then, on Sept. 25, surveillance camera footage shows the same defendant “taking 107 cleaning and household items valued at $889.63 in a black trash bag” at the same Walgreens, the lawsuit says.

The defendant reportedly left the store but then returned inside, “went to the soda cooler, grabbed a 20-ounce soda and left the Walgreens without paying for the soda.”

Court records show Dzwonkowski was scheduled to make his first appearance this week.
