Thefts of baby formula have been occurring, well, as long as baby formula has been sold in stores.

A 41-year-old Pewaukee man and a 33-year-old Hartford man were arrested by the Waukesha Police Department this week in connection to a scam where the men are accused of putting fliers in newspaper boxes in an attempt to collect tips from Elm Grove and Brookfield residents. The fliers said “it’s been a pleasure delivering papers,” according to a search warrant affidavit, and included an address on Silvernail Road and the name of a 33-year-old Hartford man.
