Report: Serious Crimes In Twin Cities Increase
Dec 31, 2005 1:32 pm US/Central

(AP) Minneapolis The number of serious crimes in Minnesota's two
largest cities rose in 2005, according to newly released statistics.

The increase was due largely to robberies and aggravated assaults in
Minneapolis and auto thefts and commercial burglaries in St. Paul,
preliminary statistics released last week showed.

Serious crimes include the violent crimes of homicide, rape, robbery
and aggravated assault. They also include property crimes such as
burglary, theft and arson.

In Minneapolis, aggravated assaults jumped 23 percent and robberies, 22
percent, while homicides fell to 49 in 2005 from 55 in 2004.
