Block ranges where MPD recorded 3 or more thefts from vehicles, vehicle thefts or parts thefts this week. MPD publishes addresses as block ranges, not exact locations. Several offenses on one block can be one event with many victims, such as a parking lot, so read this as where to look, not as a pattern by itself.

Source: Minneapolis Police Department open data, counted by the date the offense occurred, through October 13, 2026. Weeks run Monday to Sunday. The comparison week a year earlier is 52 weeks back, so weekdays line up. Offenses are counted as MPD counts them and exclude shots-fired calls, gunshot wound victims and subset rows. Reported crimes only. See the methodology. Cite as: Glass on the Street, "Minneapolis crime, week of June 15-21, 2020," https://glassonthestreet.com/weekly/2020-06-15, accessed October 15, 2026.
