MPD Crime Alert below
------------------------
Attention Stevens Square residents:
On 6/10/2009 at approximately 8 pm, there were two attempted burglaries of condo buildings—on 17xx Stevens Av and 1xx 18th St E.
The suspect attempted to gain entry in one building by breaking glass in the main entry door. In the other building, the suspect removed a window screen and was interrupted by the resident.
The suspect is described as a white male, 20-29 years old, with a shaved head and a tattoo on his neck.
Call 911 on suspicious activity.
What you can do:
Don’t let strangers in through security doors on multi-dwelling buildings
Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity, such as the sound of breaking glass or if you see anyone prowling around
Pin your windows so they cannot open more than 6 inches. You can find information about that on our website at http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crime-prevention/ under Home Security Information
Get to know your neighbors and watch out for their apartments and property as well
