Lowry Hill Blotter: Week of April 27 — A Mix of Reports, Including Assaults

The six reports break down as two vehicle thefts, two other thefts and two assaults, scattered across the neighborhood rather than clustered on one block. All locations are block-level, as published by the city. These are reports; anyone arrested or charged is presumed innocent.

The week's reports: an other theft on the 1900 block of Colfax Avenue South (April 28); an automobile theft on the 700 block of Ontario Avenue (April 29); an automobile theft on the 1800 block of Girard Avenue South (April 30); an other theft on the 800 block of Mount Curve Avenue (May 2).

The two assault reports were an aggravated incident at Vineland Place and Bryant Avenue South (May 3) and a criminal sexual conduct report on the 800 block of Mount Curve Avenue (April 28). In keeping with our standards, we report sexual-assault cases only at the block level and do not identify anyone involved, name victims, or name a suspect. The Minnesota Day One crisis line, 1-866-223-1111, is available around the clock.

Reporting incidents, even minor ones, is what lets the precinct spot a pattern early. Use 911 for emergencies and 311 or the city's online portal for everything else. These counts come from Minneapolis police open data and may be revised as cases are reviewed.
