Bloomington police spent Wednesday evening searching for a suspect believed to be connected to a residential burglary and auto theft near 81st Street and Clinton Avenue South. The suspect was described as a white male in his 40s with a shaved head, wearing a gray sweatshirt and dark jeans.
According to the Bloomington Police Department, officers were actively searching the area Wednesday night in connection with the reported burglary and vehicle theft. As limitless-news.com reported, the search centered on the neighborhood surrounding 81st and Clinton, with police asking residents to stay alert.
Additional details about the alleged burglary and vehicle theft were not immediately available, per the same outlet's report. Police urged anyone who sees something suspicious or believes they have information related to the investigation to call 911.
No Confirmed Arrest or Suspect Identity
As of the latest reporting, there was no confirmation of an arrest, and the suspect's identity had not been released. The circumstances connecting the burglary and the auto theft, including whether they happened at the same address, were not disclosed in the available reporting.
Bloomington has seen other vehicle theft and burglary cases in recent months, though none with a confirmed link to Wednesday's search. In one unrelated case from earlier this year, 26-year-old Abdirahman Yusuf Hassan was charged after a 2024 Honda CR-V was reported stolen from a Bloomington apartment parking garage on April 27, according to mncrime.com.
Separate Case Shows Pattern of Local Charges
In that earlier case, Hassan faced charges of theft of a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property and financial transaction card fraud tied to the stolen SUV and the alleged use of a stolen payment card, the outlet reported. The outlet also described a high-speed chase on April 28, the day after the April 27 vehicle theft and card use.
For now, Bloomington police continue to ask residents near 81st Street and Clinton Avenue South to report anything suspicious directly to 911 as the search for the latest suspect continues.
