On April 6, 2026, at about 1:54 P.M., Eden Prairie Police responded to a report of a suspicious male looking at high-value merchandise with his hood up and a facemask concealing his face in Best Buy Outlet, located at [ADDRESS REDACTED] in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County. This male, later identified as MUSAB DAYIB MURSAL [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, had asked to look at expensive laptops, and he selected an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. He went to the register and attempted to pay for this laptop, listed for $1,680.99, with two different credit cards that were each declined, making the total attempted transactions $3,361.98. Defendant wanted to attempt a third card, which Best Buy did not allow.
Officers apprehended Defendant in the store parking lot. In a search incident to arrest, officers located four credit cards belonging to the same person with initials HH. HH reported that her vehicle had been broken into around noon that same day in Chanhassen, Carver County, MN.
