Blaine Council Member's Car Covered With Photocopied Middle Fingers

The case is under local police investigation with no confirmed motive or identified suspects.

Overview

  • Larson's home security camera recorded four people taping photocopies of a middle finger onto her parked car Saturday, with one person appearing to take a selfie.
  • The footage shows some members covering their faces while two women were left wearing only bras and one person wore a long coat.
  • Leslie Larson posted the video to social media, asked neighbors for additional Ring footage to help identify those involved, and requested privacy for her family.
  • The Blaine Police Department has opened an active investigation but has not determined whether the act was politically motivated or identified any suspects.
  • The Republican Party of Minnesota condemned attacks on candidates at their homes and Larson's opponent, Rep. Matt Norris, expressed concern, a response that could prompt more security checks for local campaigns and neighborhood cameras to be reviewed.
