Suspect linked to violent Minneapolis home invasions charged in one case

A suspect in a string of violent home invasion burglaries this year that targeted Latino families in Minneapolis has been charged for allegedly zip-tying and threatening to kill a juvenile in one case.

Robert E. Buckingham, 33, of Minneapolis, was charged Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court with one count each of first-degree burglary and first-degree aggravated robbery for an Aug. 11 burglary. Search warrant affidavits link Buckingham and alleged accomplices to up to 23 burglaries in south Minneapolis.
