ABOUT

Prentiss Adams, 16, faces several charges for his role in a Waukesha County crime spree. On January 19, two gun shops were broken into. The first -- Select Fire Weaponry in Waukesha. Surveillance video from the shop shows five teens, including Adams, running toward the entrance. They were wearing hoods and had masks or bandannas covering their faces. One of them was holding a crow bar. Another was carrying an AR-15 or AK-47-type rifle.

After smashing a window, the surveillance video shows they changed their minds, leaving in a gray or silver sedan. One of them later admitted to police that an alarm scared them off.But they were not done yet. Officials say the suspects made their way to Freedom Arms Unlimited in Oconomowoc where they allegedly broke in and emptied several display cases. Investigators say one of the cases had four bullet holes, shell casings and a hammer nearby. According to police, 20 to 30 firearms were stolen.

That same day, Milwaukee police responded to a shooting. During a search of the home, they found 20 guns -- 17 that were stolen from Freedom Arms.Several arrests were made and one suspect told police that Adams, who goes by the name "Swiper," took the rest of the guns with him.

Adams already has a long rap sheet -- including another case in Waukesha County where he has been charged with attempted murder following a rash of car break-ins in November. On Nov. 10, 2017, Adams and three others allegedly burglarized several homes and cars in Waukesha County. When they got to Sierra Drive, a neighbor noticed them rummaging through a car. He heard a male voice yell, "Don't!" Then he saw a muzzle flash and glass break. The shot just missed the neighbor's head. Three days after the crime spree, police in Wisconsin Dells stopped the burglary ring in a stolen car. They traced where the car had been through the GPS -- and found it was at each victim's house.

Adams has two open cases out of Waukesha County -- the most recent filed on May 4 for the alleged gun shop burglaries:

One count of attempted burglary, armed with a dangerous weapon, as party to a crime
One count of burglary, armed with a dangerous weapon, as party to a crime
One count of possession of a firearm, adjudicated delinquent of a felony
The other case, for the alleged rash of car break-ins in November was filed on April 11:

Attempted first degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon
Possession of a firearm, adjudicated delinquent of a felony
Burglary of a building or dwelling, as party to a crime
Theft of movable property, less than $2,500, as party to a crime -- two counts
Armed robbery with threat of force, as party to a crime
Adams is being held on a cash bond of $50,000 in the most recent case. He is due back in court on Tuesday, May 8.
