• Complaint: PNC bank robber tracked down after using 'Turo' rental car (wisn.com) — A recent robbery at the PNC Bank on N. 124th Street in Wauwatosa led investigators to a suspect who allegedly used a Turo rental car and left detailed plans at home. Prosecutors say he specifically chose Wauwatosa, believing suburban police would respond more slowly, and he now faces a felony bank robbery charge in Milwaukee County.
