Vehicle Windows Smashed Overnight on Fremont Avenue in Lowry Hill

Someone smashed the windows of at least one car parked on the 1700 block of Fremont Avenue South in Lowry Hill overnight, according to a report logged with the Minneapolis Police 5th Precinct. Officers had not announced an arrest as of this writing.

What neighbors should know

Lowry Hill News locates incidents only to the block and does not publish home addresses or name anyone who has not been convicted. No injuries were reported in this case.

Theft from parked cars is the single most common property-crime report in the 5th Precinct, and a smashed window often nets little more than loose change — but the repair bill lands on the owner.

If you saw something

Anyone with doorbell-camera footage from the 1700 block of Fremont Avenue South can file through 311 or the 5th Precinct. A clear clip showing a time stamp, a face or a license plate is often the most useful thing an investigator gets.

Take the bag, the charger, the loose change — a car with nothing visible inside is a car most people walk past.
