More Minneapolis Crime
Minneapolis — home of the 'defund the police' movement — just saw a 'staggering' 537% rise in violent carjackings
Quote:According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, cops have recorded almost 130 carjackings in the city over the last two months. Initially, they believed the crimes were happening mostly among bands of teenagers, but they soon discovered that it's not just marauding youths. Recent weeks have seen a rising number of adults being nabbed for carjacking, too.
And things are getting worse.
Just last Saturday, cops reported three separate carjackings in the span of one hour, the Star Tribune reported.
These types of attacks were up 537% for November, compared to one year ago.
The newspaper said Tuesday that Minneapolis has seen at least 375 carjackings in 2020, including 17 just last week. Those to-date 2020 figures are more than three times higher than all of 2019.
