Multiple employees at Milwaukee's VA Center under investigation

WISN 12 News has learned of a criminal investigation at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center involving the staff.

The VA Medical Center is being very tight-lipped about the exact nature of the investigation, but WISN 12 News learned it involves accusations of the misuse of prescription drugs and involves multiple employees.

Milwaukee's massive VA Medical Center houses nearly 200 in-patient beds and some 500,000 outpatient visits a year.

At 125 acres, it's so large a complex it has its own police force, and WISN 12 News has learned that police force has been busy in recent weeks tracking down allegations that some staff members have been misusing prescription drugs.
