Residential Burglaries

Recently, the east side of Edina has experienced an increase in residential burglary. These burglaries are happening in the early morning hours and the burglars are entering homes through ground-level windows. 

Detective Dave Carlson, lead investigator of these incidents, encourages all residents  to “ Call 9-1-1 at any time for anything suspicious. We need and appreciate help from the public so we can apprehend the people committing these burglaries. And please lock your windows and doors; make it harder and more time consuming for someone to break in. Lights around the exterior of the house are a good idea, too. But I can’t emphasize strongly enough the importance of calling us if your dog suddenly starts barking at 3 a.m. or you think you see someone in your backyard.”

The Edina Police Department is available to come to your home and assess its security. There is no charge for this service. Call 952-826-1610 to request a Security Survey.
