Minneapolis hit by another round of car break-ins at least 125 vehicles vandalized in two precincts
Minneapolis is grappling with a significant increase in car break-ins, with 125 vehicles vandalized in just one night across two precincts. Shannon Wagner, a local resident, voiced her concerns over the month-long crime spree, highlighting the need for a solution. Police spokesman Trevor Folke confirmed that no arrests have been made but investigators are actively pursuing leads and reviewing surveillance footage. In the last month, approximately 200 cars were targeted, mainly in northeast Minneapolis, where community members have reported thefts and vandalism. Residents are calling for increased police presence and security measures, such as surveillance cameras, to deter future incidents.
The police department is working with crime analysts to identify trends and improve their response. Following a July spree that affected over 70 cars, officials emphasized the importance of timely reporting of suspicious activities. Community members are becoming increasingly vocal about their safety concerns as the break-ins persist.
