State attorney Robbie Berlin said, “Mr. Bramwell’s illegal activity and his history have finally caught up with him.” Apparently, Bramwell has been committing similar crimes throughout apartment communities throughout surrounding Chicago neighborhoods.
Berling continued, “Regardless of what was stolen, Mr. Bramwell repeatedly thumbed his nose at the law. He took what he wanted, time and time again, and expected to avoid the consequences.”
A judge says Bramwell will have to perform at least half of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
