FBI Offers $100,000 Reward Over Vandalized Federal Vehicles in Minneapolis

The probe follows the vandalism of unmarked federal vehicles during protests after an ICE shooting.

Overview

  • Federal officials say several government vehicles were broken into and property was stolen as agents responded to an assault on a federal officer in north Minneapolis.
  • DHS reports an ICE officer fired a defensive shot that struck a Venezuelan man in the leg during an attempted arrest after the officer was allegedly attacked.
  • Video from the scene shows protesters prying open unmarked FBI SUVs and removing a large lock box, with a protester displaying documents that appeared to be from the U.S. Marshals Service.
  • The FBI is seeking photos, video, or other digital evidence and asks the public to submit tips at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov to help recover stolen materials or identify suspects.
  • Minneapolis police dispersed the crowd using tear gas and pepper balls, and the looted vehicles were towed, with no public reports of arrests tied to the break-ins as of the latest updates.
