Milwaukee police are working with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Police Department and Shorewood police to solve a recent armed robbery spree.

Law enforcement believes seven armed robberies that occurred between last Thursday through Saturday are connected, with the bulk of them in Milwaukee's east side.

"I heard about it from the UW police," UW-Milwaukee student Brynn Moseley said. "I wasn't that concerned at the time."

Moseley is a junior at UWM where students just got back to class after winter break. She says as campus police send more alerts to armed robberies in the area, her feelings changed.

"After three or four alerts from (police), I started getting a little concerned considering I do live pretty close to campus," she said.

In the Shorewood case, police said the victim is a teenager who was heading home after a school event on Saturday night.
