On May 22, 2026, officers located a stolen vehicle on West River Parkway near Portland Avenue, in the City of Minneapolis, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota. Officers observed the vehicle, a gray 2004 Toyota Tacoma MN TPS252, was occupied by two people. Officers had followed the vehicle for a period of time before it stopped. Officer approached after the vehicle parked and the individuals got out. The driver began running away when directed to stop by officers.
