To combat a rash of recent violent carjackings, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said his department teamed up with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and Minnesota State Patrol in using helicopter surveillance to make more than 40 arrests. The three-day crackdown last week resulted in 41 felony arrests and the recovery of seven stolen vehicles and five guns, Arradondo said at a Tuesday evening news conference inside City Hall while flanked by Sheriff David Hutchinson.(Snip) There have been 391 reported carjackings to date in 2020, a 320% increase from last year. The Star Tribune reported that in November, violent carjackings were up 537%

Yep. We're up here in Chopper One. Yeah, we can see the little old lady get carjacked and tossed out on the street from her moving vehicle. I guess we don't have any squad cars we can send out because they're all doing 24/7 protective detail at the City Councilcritters homes. Over and out.

Did they at least take the 5 guns away from them before they were released back onto the street?

I'm afraid Ilhan Omar will have a 3-word response: Black Hawk Down.

Does the state's attorney put the carjackers right back on the street with no bail like the state's attorney in Chicago does? What I want to know is: where are all these stolen cars going? Find the cars, and you will find a lot of answers about what is REALLY going on.

Hi there Mini. So how does it feel to live in Mogadishu West ?
How's your real estate value hanging ?
It's just fine in The Republic of Texas.
Better get here before you have to deal with borders that are enforced. Bring your passport.

My brother and his family live in Minneapolis. Two people from his church, one male and one female, were recently victims of assault and carjacking. The man is a neighbor.
And to answer #2's question, my brother said they will probably be released, and "No bail for a long list of crimes, including felonies. Idiot judges who live in safe areas under protection...."
This is what "social justice" looks like. And we will be seeing much more of this.

FTA: "To decrease the likelihood of a carjacking, police advise drivers to park in well-lit areas, be especially aware of surroundings, equip cars with anti-theft devices, lock doors while driving and not stop for stranded strangers."
The carjackings I cited happened in broad daylight.

My niece just sold and got out of Minneapolis and now lives in the same suburb as my daughter. Incidentally she was able to get more for her house than she paid a year and a half ago. So there are plenty of idiots still willing to live there.

#7, some of the cars go to chop shops to be disassembled, and the parts sold on the black market.
Some of the cars are rented out by the hour in the neighborhood.
Some are stolen just for the brief joy ride.
Some of the cars are hidden, shipped to NYC and then shipped to mostly Middle East countries or to South America to be sold..
(In a related fashion, it used to be common for Middle East students studying in the U.S., and about to return to the Middle East, to report their car stolen, collecting on their insurance, while the car was loaded and on the way to their home in the Middle East.)
