Edina Police Asking for Public’s Help
with Recent Burglaries
Within the last 5 weeks, 3 unusual residential burglaries have occurred on the west side of
Edina. All 3 involved forced entry during the day and 2 included cut phone lines. In two
incidents jewelry was taken; in the most recent (May 10) case there was no loss because the
female homeowner surprised the suspect in her front hall and he turned and ran out of the
home.
A white male with dark hair was seen driving a red pickup with a black topper in the April
first burglary; there was no suspect seen in the May 7 incident, and in the May 10 burglary the
suspect was described as a white male in his 40s with dark hair and a receding hairline. This
suspect drove off in a brown sedan with a white female in the front passenger seat.
These burglaries may be linked to similar incidents in Plymouth, Minnetonka, and
Minneapolis. Edina Chief Jeff Long states “This is a top priority for us, and I hope that
someone will come forward with something to help us find this guy, or group.”
Detective Dave Carlson is asking for any information relevant to either the vehicles or
suspects in these burglaries; if you know anything, please call Edina Police anytime at 952-
826-1600.
