This is Zakaria Abdi Isse, 30, of Andover, Minn. On March 31, he fired five shots into the front door of a house in Vadnais Heights. Then he ran away. Our Fugitive Apprehension Team caught up with him a day later in St. Paul. He's in jail now.

Our deputies' investigation ID'd the mail thief as a 36-year-old man from Andover in a tan Honda Civic. They issued a metro-wide alert. Coon Rapids PD found his car and arrested him with a fake Amazon uniform and packages stolen from homes in White Bear Township. #teamwork

K-9 Unit is training today.

We prefer when we don't have to, but we pursue people who flee from us in stolen vehicles. It often leads to the recovery of illegally possessed guns and narcotics such as fentanyl and meth. It also gets people their vehicles back.

If you bring death and destruction to our county, we will find you. We will arrest you. And we will try to send you to prison. These are some of the stolen handguns and meth that our Violent Crime Enforcement Team has taken out of the hands of criminals over the past few weeks.

Last week our Gun Unit served a search warrant on the East Side of St. Paul. They seized 10 illegally possessed weapons -- including ghost guns and handguns equipped with switches -- from a 17-year-old male. He's in jail, now.

Our SWAT Team arrested two teens believed to be responsible for the death of an 18-year-old man in the City of Ramsey on March 2. The house was surrounded as the suspects were ordered to come out of a house in Shoreview. They did, thankfully, and without their guns.

Hey everybody, call 911 if you see this guy.

Due to unsafe ice conditions, the public boat launch on Bald Eagle Lake in White Bear Township will close today at 4:30 p.m. It will reopen when the ice is out. We'll let you know when that happens.

**2:56 p.m. MISSING PERSON UPDATE: "JERRY" LOCATED** Jerry is safe.. He was found near the Highway 36 and Manning Avenue North in North St. Paul. Thank you to everyone who gave us a hand, including our friends North Star Search and Tracking. We appreciate the assist.**

It was a balmy 53 degrees Fahrenheit today in Ramsey County. Good time for some ice rescue training with our friends from the Oakdale and North St. Paul Fire Departments. Stay safe out there, everyone. And by that we mean: remember, there's no such thing as "safe ice."
