On October 30, 2025, officers were dispatched to a theft report from an apartment complex in West Saint Paul, Dakota County, Minnesota. The reporting party was a staff member with the leasing office, who was reporting several package thefts, and had knowledge about where the suspects involved were residing. Officers arrived at the apartment complex and made contact with the reporting party. He stated that he received two complaints from tenants who lost their packages from the mail collection point within the building.
The reporting party reviewed security footage that captured the incidents on camera. He recognized the involved suspects, as there had been an ongoing issue with those individuals having their dog off leash on the property and the suspects living in an apartment (#204) within the complex but not actually being authorized tenants on the lease.
