Halloween Safety Tips
Before your children head out to trick or treat tonight, review with them the following Halloween Safety Tips from the Minneapolis Police Dept.
1. Walk with other kids or have your parents walk with you.
2. Stay on the sidewalks and don’t cut across people’s yards.
3. Cross at intersections and obey traffic lights.
4. If you wear a mask, make sure the holes are large enough to
see and breathe through easily. Make-up is safer.
5. Have a plan for walking so you cross the street only when
necessary.
6. NEVER go into other people’s houses. Stay outside.
7. Only go to houses that are well-lit.
8. Wear bright, reflective colors so that drivers can see you when it gets dark. Remember that just because you see the cars doesn’t mean the drivers see you.
9. Be polite and say “Thank you” to the people who give out treats. Don’t push others when you are at the door.
10. Have your parents check your treats before you eat them.
11. Know your name, address, and phone number or go with an adult
12. After dark, take a flashlight along. This will help you see where
you are going, and let drivers see you.
13. Wear costumes that are fireproof and not too long or too loose.
14. Think about going to a Halloween party instead of trick-or-treating.
Contact your crime prevention specialist for additional prevention information. Call 311 or call 612-673-3000.

Holiday Safety Tips Please remember to watch out for your neighbors, and call 911 on suspicious behavior/activity in your neighborhood.
Please click here for holiday safety tips. Stay safe and have a happy holiday season! Spring Crime Update & RemindersBetween April 2 and May 11, 2013, 17 occupied residential and apartment burglaries occurred in the Fifth Precinct. Although the burglaries have occurred in bordering neighborhoods and not in East Harriet, it is important to be aware of this crime trend.
An occupied burglary is when the suspect enters the home and a resident is present. In most cases, the resident is asleep and the suspect will often not go near the resident. In the instances where the resident and suspect saw each other, the suspect fled. The majority of the cases occurred between 2-5 am, with some ranging as late as 9 am or as early as midnight. 70% of entry to the home contained no force, utilizing unlocked doors and windows and removing screens. If you believe you have suspect information for any of these crimes, contact the Fifth Precinct desk at 612.673.5705. What You Can Do:
|
Increase in Garage Burglaries and Theft From Parked CarsIt is important to increase your awareness and use the following crime prevention methods in your neighborhood.
Plant Theft in SW MinneapolisFifth Precinct residents and business owners:
At the beginning of the month, the Fifth Precinct Minneapolis Police Department was made aware of a number of thefts of plants from residences and businesses, mostly in the Linden Hills and Fulton area. These largely occurred overnight. Plant theft is unfortunately a statewide trend, as other counties and cities outside of the direct Metro area have also been experiencing similar crimes, and a search online will show that these thefts have been common in other areas of the nation as well in the past. There are very few official sources of plant theft prevention tips that could be located. Fifth Precinct Crime Prevention gathered a number of plant theft prevention tips from gardening sources on the web and has placed them into one document. Fifth Precinct is committed to catching these perpetrators and need your assistance in reporting suspicious vehicles and persons to 911 at the time it occurs. Please feel free to share the document with friends, family and neighbors. |

Safety tips to remember:
- Plan and use the safest and most direct route.
- Stay alert to your surroundings. Recognize when something or someone appears out of the ordinary.
- Refrain from having your cellphone in plain view
- Don't talk or text while walking
- Become familiar with businesses on your route. Know which stores stay open late.
- Choose well-lit streets at night.
- Carry keys and money in a pocket rather than in a purse or wallet.
- If you feel uneasy, go directly to a place where there may be other people.
- Walk with purpose and confidence. Walk with friends when possible.
- Don't carry excess cash or credit cards with you. Bring only what you need.
- If circumstances require you to carry a large amount of cash, hide the majority of it in an unexpected place such as a sock, and carry a smaller amount in an expected place like your wallet, purse or pocket. Robbers tend to go for the expected places.
- Concealable-the robber can hide the items on his or her person;
- Removable-the robber can easily take the items from the victim;
- Available-the items are commonly found on potential victims;
- Valuable-the items are useful to the robber or others;
- Enjoyable-the items are fun to use; and
- Disposable-the robber can easily sell the items to or trade the items with others.

Door to Door Solicitation
A message from Richard J. Tuffs Minneapolis License Inspector
"Each year I deal with a number of complaints about door to door solicitors. If anyone comes to your door trying to sell you anything, take orders for future delivery or tries to sell you any type of alarm system, make sure they have a Minneapolis Solicitors License. When you open the door, the first words you should be saying are, let me see your Minneapolis Solicitors License. It they don’t have one, send them on their way and call 911. Don't be afraid to call 911. A 911 police call is NOT just for emergencies, it's also any time you want to report illegal or suspicious activity or want a police squad for some other reason. Tell the 911 operator that an unlicensed solicitor is going door to door on your block. After you call them, call me and if I'm not in, leave me a message regarding the address they are currently at and your phone number. Once someone signs a contract with an unlicensed solicitor, its very difficult to get them out of it and trying to get a hold of someone from the company is extremely frustrating. Help your neighbor, if they come to your door, take appropriate action."

Lyndale Ave Construction
The east lane of Lyndale Ave S from 56th Street to and including the Minnehaha Bridge will be closed beginning on Monday, April 2. The bridge over Minnehaha Creek on Lyndale Avenue South closed earlier on January 17 due to the abnormally warm winter and the complexities of the project.
Traffic on Lyndale Ave will be moved to the WEST side with one lane in each direction (North/South). The second phase of construction which will include the west side of Lyndale will begin early July. The entire project is expected to be completed in October.
The bridge closure eliminates easy access to businesses in the Lyndale & 54th St business area. Hennepin County will use detours to direct traffic back to the area. Southbound traffic will be detoured west on 50th St to Penn Ave. You can also go east on Nicollet to 54th St W. This area includes many local and small businesses, including retail shops, restaurants, and service businesses that will appreciate your support during this construction period.

Police Need Public's Help
The Minneapolis Arson Squad is seeking the public's help in solving an August 2009 arson and property damage case at Lake Harriet. Shortly before 6 am on Aug. 9, 2009, three white male juveniles were observed damaging sail boats moored at Lake Harriet. The three males left on bicycles southbound from the lake. Damage to the boats exceeds $20,000.
Early in 2010, a tipster to the City of Edina Crime-Stoppers line identified three possible suspects. Two are residents of the Linden Hills neighborhood and one lives in Bry Mawr. All three declined to be interviewed by the police and evidence is insufficient to gain criminal charges at this time.
Arson investigators are hoping the anonymous tipster calls back and also believe that more people are aware of the suspects actions in this case. A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in this fire. Call the Arson Hot line at 1.800.723.2020 or Sgt. McKenna at 612.673.3389.

Increase in Bike Thefts
There were 46 theft reports of stolen bicycles in the 5th Precinct from July 20 to August 15. These reports included bicycles stolen largely from outside residences and commercial or public buildings.
36 of the 46 bicycles were locked, 2 were unlocked and 5 were unspecified whether or not they were locked.
The thieves appear to be able to operate quickly. In some cases, the bicycles were left alone for less than 15 minutes or were within a few feet of areas that were well occupied.

The thieves appear to be able to operate quickly. In some cases, the bicycles were left alone for less than 15 minutes or were within a few feet of areas that were well occupied.
What You Can Do
- Use a U-lock and be sure to lock it to the frame as well as front wheel. If possible, lock both wheels on your bike.
- Record the serial number on your bike. Thousands of bikes are stolen and recovered each year in Minneapolis. Last year only 2% of recovered bicycles were returned to the owners. This is due to lack of serial numbers or an inability for the victim to positively identify their bicycle. Recovered bicycles that cannot be identified by owners are sold at police auctions every year.
- Call 911 on suspicious activity. This includes if you witness what appears to be a bike theft in progress or anyone loitering near parked bikes.
- If you have any suspect information on bicycle thieves, please call the MPD Tips Line at 612.692.8477
Don't Forget Your Sidewalks!
You must remove snow and ice from your sidewalks. It is the neighborly thing to do and it is the law.
