I used to live in Minneapolis--by the lakes. Beautiful city.
So sad to see this happening.

Another round of car break-ins happened overnight Wednesday in Minneapolis, bringing the total number of vehicles damaged in the city to roughly 475 since July 14.

At least 125 vehicle owners are dealing with broken windows after this latest round that occurred in parts of northeast and south Minneapolis. Neighbors near Northeast Main Street and 11th Avenue Northeast say seemingly every window was smashed, with dozens of vehicles hit. They also say thieves targeted the same area just three weeks ago.

Minneapolis police say 911 dispatchers are now alerting supervisors when these calls come in. However, no arrests have been made in connection to any of the sprees.

Thieves targeted cars in the Linden Hills neighborhood just a week ago, and before that dozens of vehicles in Bloomington.
