3 juveniles held in Sunday robbery sprees on opposite sides of Minneapolis

Minneapolis police arrested three male juveniles in a string of robberies that occurred Sunday during separate crime sprees on opposite sides of the city.

Four robberies took place within 18 minutes in the city's Fifth Precinct in south Minneapolis on Sunday morning, according to data provided by police in a news release Monday. The precinct stopped responding to calls for service for 45 minutes in order to triage limited resources toward the robbery reports, part of a new protocol to thwart active threats with the department's depleted staffing.

A half-hour later, police responded to another carjacking followed by an armed robbery across the river in northeast Minneapolis.
