On March 3, 2026, at approximately 9:00 A.M., officers from the Lakeville Police Department received a report of a wallet being stolen from a gym located on the 18000 block of Orchard Trail in Lakeville, Dakota County, MN. The reporting party, the victim herein, told officers that the apple tag showed his wallet at a business located on the 20700 block of Keokuk Avenue in Lakeville, Dakota County, MN. The victim’s wallet contained credit cards and some cash. With multiple cards, the suspect attempted 3 transactions, each individually for $1013.68. The suspect then used another card belonging to the victim for a 4th attempt to purchase the 2 gift cards, totaling $1,013.68 which was successful.
The suspect either attempted or was successful in using the victim’s credit cards for an amount totaling $4,054.72. Using surveillance video from both the gym and business, as well as comparing the car the Defendant used in this case to another pending case, officers were able to identify the suspect as HAMZA HUSSEIN ABDALLA [DOB REDACTED], the Defendant herein. The Defendant has a pending Dakota County file (19HA-CR-26-264), with allegations of going into the Apple Valley gym, which is the same gym as the gym in this case but in different cities, stealing a wallet from a locker and going to another business in Apple Valley to purchase gift cards.
