MADISON, Wis. (WFRV) – Several expensive bottles of liquor were stolen after someone tried to break into three different stores in southern Wisconsin on Sunday morning.

During the incident, the suspect allegedly shattered the front glass door to get inside. Officers report that several expensive bottles of liquor were stolen.
Shortly after 6:30 a.m. someone tried breaking into a liquor store located along the 4500 block of Cottage Grove Road in the city of Madison. The suspect was unable to gain entry to this business, but the Madison Police Department says that the front door was damaged during the process.
