   MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A Ring security camera captured a violent encounter on   
   Sunday afternoon, when two armed robbers pounced on a University of Minnesota   
   student.   
      
   The suspects brought the woman to the ground and stole her phone, in the 1200   
   block of 8th Street Southeast, around 4 p.m.   
      
   "I could not listen to it with the sound on, because that hurt my soul,"   
   neighbor Anna MacIntyre told FOX 9 of the video.   
      
   Her roommate Samanatha was targeted and left with bruises after a situation   
   that they say is not shocking for their neighborhood.   
      
   "I’ve had issues, I’ve always been very worried about that kind of thing   
   here," MacIntyre told FOX 9.   
      
   Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara acknowledges the problem of robbery   
   sprees committed by groups of adolescent criminals in stolen Kias and Hyundais.   
      
   He says his department is doing everything it can to prevent the crime and   
   hold people accountable.   
      
   "It’s terrible to see videos like this," Chief O’Hara said. "This past   
   weekend was bad. We had almost as many cars stolen this weekend, as we did   
   [in] all of last week. I think 90 vehicles were stolen this weekend, 70 of   
   them were Kias and Hyundai’   
   s, and several of those stolen cars were involved in these incidents."   
      
   Sunday’s robbery was just one of eight robberies and auto thefts between 3   
   p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Minneapolis Police investigators believe the crimes are   
   connected, and the suspects are likely underage.   
      
   Now, O’Hara says his department plans to meet with leaders from the   
   University of Minnesota Police Department to discuss plans for the summer.   
      
   The University of Minnesota did not provide a spokesperson for an interview on   
   Monday.   
      
   Instead, the school sent a statement that says in part: "In the immediate   
   future, UMPD is partnering with MPD to have extra officers in the Dinkytown   
   area this coming weekend. All of our Department of Public Safety light and   
   camera trailers are currently    
   in-use in the Dinkytown area as well. The university is also actively   
   following up on last weekend’s incidents to provide support resources for   
   the victims."
