A stolen vehicle report Sunday night led to multiple arrests, an hourslong police presence and search warrant execution at a Brooklyn Center home, according to police.
At 7:50 p.m., a person called police, reporting they’d tracked their stolen vehicle to the area of 57th and Fremont avenues north. Officers responded to a house and found the car. While there, two adults who were seated in another vehicle in the driveway ran into the home, police said. Brooklyn Center officers then surrounded the house and “attempted to speak with” the people inside.
Two people fled on foot but were detained, police said. One of the people was wearing body armor and had a BB gun. Once everyone had exited the house and been apprehended by police, officers drafted a search warrant for the home. During their search, police found a rifle and suspected narcotics. Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted at the scene.
Around 11 p.m., KSTP crews on scene observed a bullet hole through a window in the home and officers were still on-site. Cmdr. Richard Gabler clarified Monday that no weapons were discharged Sunday and that the bullet hole is likely from a prior incident on Feb. 17 when someone shot into the house. No one was injured in that separate incident.
Gabler said all the people in the home were adults and that some had active felony warrants but that any new charges from Sunday’s events are pending.
It is unknown whether anyone was injured.
No other information is available at this time.
