FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prevent Holiday Season Home Burglaries
Edina, Minn., Nov. 25, 2025 – The Edina Police Department reminds residents to “Lock Around the Clock” as the holiday season is upon us and several residential burglaries have occurred
in Edina over the last month.
Edina Police Detectives believe Edina neighborhoods are being targeted by an organized group. The suspects are stealing jewelry, safes and high-end merchandise. Residents should be aware
of this crime trend and take additional steps to protect their homes and belongings during this holiday season. Please keep these tips in mind:
Install security alarms in your home and always set them when leaving your home.
If possible, have your alarm monitoring company contact police immediately and not attempt to contact you first.
Install security cameras and lights outside of your home and keep them on at night. Choose security cameras that can be monitored by you through your cell phone.
Make sure all doors and windows are locked when leaving your home. Leave on a few lights in your home to make it look like someone is home when you are not.
Homeowners with a lot of valuables should make sure their insurance policies are up to date.
Call 952-826-1610 to notify Edina dispatch when you are leaving your home for an extended period. Officers will check in on your property periodically for any suspicious activity. Also,
let your neighbors know that you will be gone for an extended period.
Register your cameras with Edina’s SafeCam program. In the event a crime occurred in your neighborhood, Edina Police will have your contact information for you to check your cameras
for any useful footage. Register at EdinaMN.gov/Police.
If you see something, say something. All suspicious activity should be reported by calling 911.
