Roseville Police Ask For Help IDing Armed Burglar

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities in Roseville are asking the public's help in identifying a burglar who broke into a home Friday morning armed with a handgun.

The Roseville Police Department says the burglary happened shortly after 10:15 a.m. at a duplex on the 2400 block of Woodbridge Street on the city's northeast side.

Police say they heard about the burglary by the homeowner, whose surveillance system alerted her cell phone and captured pictures of the suspect as he moved about the home, placing objects in a backpack.
