October 10, 2024 | | Print Article

The ages of alleged criminals in Governor Tim Walz’s socialist utopia of Minneapolis may be dropping considerably as police busted six children who went on a dangerous crime spree.

Three boys who were 11, 12, and 13 years old and three girls ranging in age from 12 to 14 were arrested on Tuesday for three armed robberies and were also involved in two car crashes on Interstate 94 according to KMSP-TV.

The media outlet reported that the police responded to calls at approximately 11:30 a.m. concerning an armed robbery in the 5100 block of 41st Avenue South as well as another one in the 3400 block of Bloomington Avenue.

“During the second incident, shots were fired at the victim from one of the vehicles involved, police said. No one was hit by gunfire,” the media outlet added.

“Police spotted one of the vehicles and tried to pull over the driver who instead fled, which led to a police pursuit that ended in a crash westbound on I-94,” Blaze Media reported.

KMSP-TV also noted that a third armed robbery was committed at about 1:30 p.m. in the vicinity of 24th Street and Pleasant Avenue.

“Due to the three robberies’ similarities, police said they activated their ‘crime pattern response protocol,'” KMSP-TV wrote. “Law enforcement from multiple agencies — including Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, and the Minnesota State Patrol — ‘began flooding the area’ to search for the vehicles involved in the robberies.”

The station also reported that 911 calls started flowing in concerning vehicles that were being driven recklessly in Minneapolis. According to police four of the children in one of the crashed cars fled on foot and were “quickly apprehended.” A second car that was stolen also crashed. There were two more kids in it and they ran as well only to be caught and cuffed.

There were three other vehicles involved in the crashes but thankfully no one was hurt. The children involved were all taken to hospitals and treated before being booked into the Juvenile Detention Center.

“The arrested 12-year-old male had ‘multiple prior contacts’ with Minneapolis police while the others had ‘no or limited prior contact’ with police and were to be ‘referred to juvenile diversion programs,'” according to Blaze Media.

The incidents are still under investigation by police.

“The fact that I see this activity continuing with children so young — despite all our efforts — is incredibly frustrating and highlights the urgent need for action,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, according to KMSP-TV. “I am grateful for the immediate response of law enforcement in finding and arresting these juveniles before they could cause more harm to members than of our community or themselves.”
