The department calls attention to the local resource in honor of next week's National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
In honor of next week's National Crime Victims' Week, the Minneapolis Police Department is calling attention to Minnesota's Council on Crime and Justice. Since 1977, the organization has been providing free and confidential services to general crime victims. "Being a victim of crime can be difficult and confusing. You may have many questions, concerns, or moments of anxiety," Luther Krueger, Minneapolis crime prevention analyst, sent out in an e-newsletter this week. "If you or someone you know is a victim of crime, advocates are available [through the council's hotline] 24 hours a day to provide guidance, advocacy, information & emotional support." While Minneapolis police urge citizens to report all crimes, the council's services are …

People stealing scrap metal and other recyclables from neighborhood garbage cans is a problem, police say.
Over the next few weeks Minneapolis police officers will be checking alleys for people stealing recycling and scrap metal from garbage and recycling containers. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, the theft of refuse and recycling is illegal and has become a problem in the city: Recycling theft or “scavenging” is the unauthorized collection of recyclable materials set out by residents for authorized collection programs with the City. City of Minneapolis Ordinance 244.355 (c) states that it’s against the law. Although you may feel this is a harmless crime, scavenging gives individuals an opportunity to survey what items you have in your alley, garage and home and takes revenue from the City that could have helped keep your solid…

A thief takes advantage of a moment of inattentiveness at Lyndale neighborhood gas station.
Early on the morning of Mar. 1, a driver pulled into the gas station on the corner of Nicollet Ave and 35th Street for what would prove to be a very expensive refreshment, according to a report filed by Minneapolis police officers. It was just after 4 a.m. as the 31-year old pulled up to pump number two at the Super America and got out of his car. He strode across the apron to the station's convenience store, but left his car running—it was late, and he wanted a cup of coffee to ward off the pre-dawn darkness. He wouldn't be gone long. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a stranger walk in his direction with a funny gait. He seemed either drunk or high, but inconsequential either way. He swung open the gas station door and sidled up …

Suspect has struck at least four times in two months.
A pair of armed robberies at bus stops in St. Louis Park and Southwest Minneapolis may be related, according to the Southwest Journal.
