At Least 87 Vehicles Smashed in Nine Minneapolis Incidents

Authorities are seeking community video to link the early-morning break-ins and guide an active police investigation.

Overview

  • Police say the damage occurred in a narrow pre-dawn window on Friday morning across nine separate locations and affected at least 87 vehicles.
  • The largest cluster damaged 37 vehicles on the 2700 block of First Avenue South, and police released a location-by-location list with case numbers for each scene.
  • No arrests have been made and investigators say there is not yet a single suspect or vehicle description that ties all nine incidents together.
  • Officers have asked residents and businesses to submit surveillance or phone video and to call tips to help determine whether the incidents were coordinated.
  • The episodes follow a related incident last week in which police say 34 vehicles were damaged, raising local concern and financial strain for victims who face repeated repair costs.
