Crime Alert- August 25, 2010
Re: Recent Residential Burglaries
Since August 18th, the
Robbinsdale Police Department has seen an increase in residential
burglaries that have been occurring both during the day and evening
hours. In some of these incidents, the suspects are making forced
entry inside homes through unlocked windows by cutting or removing
window screens. In other cases, the suspects have gained entry by
forcibly removing window air conditioner units. After making entry,
the suspects have been removing electronics (televisions, laptop
computers, etc) as well as cash and jewelry. The southern part of
Robbinsdale (the area primarily to the south of North Memorial
Medical Center) has been the area most affected by these recent
burglaries.
