Officer Safety: Suspicious activity involving a black SUV. On June 3rd, 2020 there were multiple reports by MPD that a black SUV was trying to antagonize/lead officers on a pursuit, possibly towards the 38th and Chicago Ave. Reporting from CISA overnight indicated that a black Mercedes SUV, bearing (plate comes back to SAAB sedan) attempted to ram squads at 0009 on 03 June 2020. At this time, analysts assess that these reports are of the same vehicle. Vehicle ramming could possibly be a tactic to initiate a pursuit, back to a certain area – likely 38th and Chicago Ave in Minneapolis. Information indicates there is an uptick in vehicles seen driving around the Twin Cities Metro Area without license plates. This trend has evolved into a “copycat” tactic. This was originally linked to vehicles utilized in looting and rioting. Open source information indicates individuals and groups have begun to promote driving around with no license plates in response to media reporting on this activity. Law enforcement is encouraged to stop, identify and share these contacts and information obtained from the stop with sheriff.cisa@hennepin.us or 612-596-2472. Agencies are receiving reports of suspects attempting to get the driver out of delivery vehicles from companies such as Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc. In Collaboration With CONFIDENTIAL//LAW ENFORCEMENT DATA The information contained in this brief is disseminated by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO).
