A Minnesota Department of Human Services employee appears to have been arrested on suspicion of causing over $20,000 in damage to several Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara held a press conference on Thursday along with MPD investigator Sgt. Rob Illetschko to announce the arrest and pending charges.
Four video clips were shown during the press conference that had been obtained from the victims’ onboard surveillance cameras. The videos showed a white male who in most of the cases had a dog with him while appearing to key or vandalize Teslas in downtown Minneapolis, and one at Target in Northeast Minneapolis. Chief O’Hara said all the videos shown were believed to be the same suspect.
