A block-by-block summary of recent property-crime reports near Lowry Hill East, drawn from Minneapolis Police Department incident data, where motor-vehicle theft dominates.

This summary of recent reported crime around the Wedge and its neighboring blocks is drawn from the Minneapolis Police Department's published incident data for 2026. As always, we list the block alone and identify no resident or unconvicted person.
As is typical here, the reports skew heavily toward property crime, and motor-vehicle theft and theft of vehicle parts dominate the recent list.
Recent reports by block:
- 1100 block of Summit Ave: an automobile theft reported June 1, and theft of vehicle parts on the same block reported in late May. No arrests announced. - 700 block of Vineland Pl: an automobile theft reported May 29. No arrests announced. - 1800 block of Girard Ave S: theft of vehicle parts, a theft from a motor vehicle, a burglary of a dwelling and a bike theft, all reported in May. No arrests announced. - 2000 block of Fremont Ave S: an automobile theft reported in mid-May. No arrests announced. - 1900 block of Mount Curve Ave: a burglary of a dwelling reported May 6. No arrests announced. - 600 block of Kenwood Pkwy: an assault with a dangerous weapon reported May 7. No arrests announced.
Even minor reports help map a pattern. Residents can report incidents through 311 or the MPD's Fifth Precinct and pass along any camera footage. Local block clubs continue to stress lights, locks and quick reporting as the simplest protections; a locked car door and a lit porch stop a surprising share of what lands on this list.
The underlying incident records are published at the City of Minneapolis open-data portal.
