WEST SAINT PAUL, MN: West St Paul Police are investigating a break-in at an antique store on Smith/Annapolis in West St Paul over the weekend, along with other incidents in the Smith/Dodd neighborhood over the last few months.
According to the West Saint Paul Police Department, investigators have collected forensic and video evidence in several of the cases, which is still being reviewed. Police noted that forensic evidence in property-only crimes can take time to process through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Some of the other incidents in the area occurred around November 25th, 2025, at Chin Chin restaurant/Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant/Holiday Gas Station. Both restaurants had their front doors smashed in.
