MILWAUKEE — Three Milwaukee men are facing burglary charges for allegedly trying to steal items and copper from Lincoln Avenue School, which has been vacant since a five-alarm fire June 30.
Prosecutors say that Soe Hla, Lah Tah and Eh Pu Jaw planned to steal items and copper from the school.
According to a criminal complaint, Milwaukee police were alerted after security personnel observed flashlights moving inside the vacant building around 4 a.m. Aug. 6.
Officers responded and entered the school, where they found Tah and Hla inside.
Tah and Hla were also charged with one count of possession of burglary tools as habitual criminal repeaters.
