Minneapolis Police Department 3rd Precinct Sector 2 Reported Crime Weekly
Update
*For the Bancroft, Bryant, Central, Corcoran, Powderhorn Park and Standish
(North of 42nd Street East) neighborhoods*
(The borders of Sector 2 are the south side of Lake Street East to the
north side of 42nd Street East between the east side of 35W and the west
side of Hiawatha Avenue South)
Week of Dec. 15-21, 2020
Hello. I am John Baumann, one of the four crime prevention specialists
working in the Third Precinct. I do the weekly crime updates for Sector 2
while working from home due to the pandemic. Previously, I staffed the
Midtown Community Safety Center near Chicago and Lake.
I am not going to in-person meetings at this time but can participate in
online meetings. You can reach me at <email obscured> or
612-286-7849 (leave a text or voice message-I may call you back from a
different number). Please let me know if you have questions, need
information or have something youād like to share with the Sector 2
community. Thanks!
Brief updates
- There were two violent crimes this week, down from four last week and
down dramatically from 16 two weeks ago.
- Iām happy to note there was only one robbery this week, down from two
last week and 11 two weeks ago. The robbery occurred when a man was trying
to buy something from a man he didnāt know, who then pulled a gun.
- There were six burglaries this week, the same as last week. One
occurred at a business. In two of the five home burglaries, entry was made
through an unlocked door. In two others, the residents were at home. In one
of these, the burglar entered by breaking a window. In the other, entry was
likely through an unsecured window. Practicing good home security means
locking doors and windows even when you are home. Make sure windows lock
completely. Look into pinning windows when clamshell locks on double hung
windows donāt align properly.
- There were nine auto thefts this week, down slightly from 11 last week
but still a large number for a seven-day period in Sector 2.
- In one of the auto thefts, a man picked up a woman he didnāt know,
who then stole the key and threw it to an accomplice.
- In two other cases, the vehicle was left running unattended.
- In one other, a key was left inside the vehicle.
- In five cases, the doors were left unlocked, which makes it easier
to steal the vehicle without making noticeable noise. Leaving doors
unlocked also makes it faster for a thief to hotwire an older vehicle.
- The Third Precinct continues to focus its officer resources primarily
on responding to 911 calls. You can help improve your safety by calling 911
whenever you see illegal or suspicious activity. Give a thorough
description of the activity, people, weapons and vehicles involved
(including license plate numbers). 911 dispatchers prioritize the calls and
officers go to the highest priority pending call. If the situation changes,
please call 911 back and give an update. Calling 911 is even more important
these days because we no longer have a drug enforcement team in the
precinct and focused work on properties with problems has had to be reduced.

sector in any precinct can sign up by searching for āCrime Alertsā on the
