I wonder why the Orono chief is making comments to the press when the crimes occurred in Mound and Minnetrista which have their own police departments? That is not the norm. I can't see a lot of assistance being given by Orono either, it isn't a large department with a substantial investigative staff. Hennipen Co. Sheriff's Dept. and possibly the BCA would be the primary investigative agencies I would think.
That area kind of used to be my old stomping grounds though much of it wasn't as upscale as it is now. One travels only a couple mostly two lane roads through Orono and Wayzata to get to Mound and Minnetrista which seems odd as Orono and Wayzata would have much the same "pickings" plus easier/faster access to 394 to get out of the area. I'll guess a commonality will be found between the burgled homes which caused their being targeted.
