These suspects are believed to drive a full size grey GMC van, License plate # VCW 067. They are also believed to store stolen items in a garage in the area of 35th and Humboldt Avenues N. It is believed that these suspects are operating primarily between 30th and 50 Avenues North. Numerous burglaries have been reported in this area. A common MO is to kick open front or back doors to residences, and have one or two individuals case a block on foot while one circles the block in a vehicle. Three possible suspects have been described as African American Males, ages 24 to 27. Suspect 1 is 24 years old, 5'9" tall and weighs approximately 187 lbs. Suspect 2 is 27 years old, 5'5" tall and weights approximately 140 lbs. Suspect 3 is also 27 years old, 5'11" tall and weighs about 218 lbs. What you can do: Be alert to suspicious activity and don’t hesitate to call 911 to report it. Please call the 4th Precinct Property Crimes Unit at (612) 673-5714 if you have any information about these burglaries. • If you see these individuals or the above described van behaving suspiciously, or notice suspicious activity taking place in or near a garage in the area of 35th and Humboldt Ave. N, please call 911 immediately, and reference this Police Advisory. • Suspicious activity includes walking down your alley and looking in garages, loitering, or vehicles circling the block with occupants you don’t recognize. • Burglars commonly knock on doors to see if anyone is home. Please call 911 to report any suspicious persons who knock on your door or ring your doorbell. For example, someone offering to mow your lawn that doesn’t have a lawn moweris suspicious! • Alert your neighbors and block club members to the problem and be sure to watch out for each other. Remember, the majority of burglars who are caught in the act are caught because a neighbor reported seeing something suspicious. If you don’t have a block club, start one. It’s easy and the benefits are tremendous! An informed group of neighbors who know each other and look out for each other is always the best defense against crime. • Never leave your home or personal property unsecured. Always lock all doors and windows when you leave home. Always keep your garage secured and locked. • Don’t leave your back door unlocked while doing yard work in the front and vice versa. Do not leave valuables on porches or other unsecured areas of the home. • Use double cylinder deadbolt locks with 6" strike plates and 3" screws on all exterior doors. Deadbolts should have at least a 1" throw. • Pin your double-hung windows or have auxiliary locks added to them. • If you are burglarized, do not contaminate the crime scene. Do not enter your home until police have cleared it of possible suspects. Do not touch any suspected entry points or items that may have been moved by the burglar. Do not “clean up” until after police have investigated.
