Authorities believe suspect or suspects took laptop, vehicle from residence in 5900 block of Main Street NE.
Update (5:15 p.m. Wednesday): Why didn't the Minnesota State Patrol help search for the suspect or suspects in the Fridley home invasion that police say happened early this morning on Main Street NE?

They do not know who said the word “busy” but that was not the case. This information came directly from our flight section. Indeed, powerful storms were sweeping across the area in the wee hours of …
