   A man already charged with carjacking a mother and son in Minnetonka is now   
   charged in nine additional crimes.   
      
   The Hennepin County Attorney's Office said Romell Lewis, 21, has been charged   
   in nine incidents involving burglary and theft of high-end vehicles from homes   
   in Edina and Minnetonka. The incidents reportedly happened from July 16 to   
   Aug. 30.   
      
   Lewis was charged on Sept. 8 with carjacking and attempted robbery of a woman   
   and her 13-year-old son in the family's driveway on Aug. 17.   
      
   "The location of Lewis' phone and his distinctive hooded sweatshirt were key   
   pieces of evidence connecting him to these incidents," the attorney's office   
   said on Tuesday.   
      
   Lewis' phone was confirmed as being at each location in the incidents detailed   
   below:   
      
   July 16   
   A victim had his Infiniti sedan stolen from his driveway off Parkwood Road in   
   Edina.   
      
   The person told authorities he believed he left his keys and wallet in the car   
   and that it had been a three-hour period before his car was stolen. He was   
   made aware his credit card was used at a Walgreens in Robbinsdale.   
      
   On July 28, the vehicle was found in Milwaukee.   
      
   Aug. 2   
   A woman reported her Mercedes to be stolen out of her garage off of Stonewood   
   Court in Edina.   
      
   Surveillance video at the home showed two people enter her garage around 2:30   
   p.m. and leave in her vehicle. The Mercedes was tracked to St. Paul, where it   
   was ultimately found off Wilson Avenue at about 5:15 p.m.   
      
   Aug. 5   
   A man reported his Volkswagen SUV stolen after it was taken off the street   
   outside of his home in Edina.   
      
   The man said he parked his SUV at about 4:35 p.m. and was cleaning out his   
   garage off of Sioux Trail. While he was in the garage, a silver Audi pulled up   
   in front of the victim's home. A man exited the Audi, got into the victim's   
   SUV, and drove off.   
      
   The man said he left the keys inside the SUV at the time.   
      
   The victim was able to track his vehicle via an app to an address on SE 9th   
   Avenue in Minneapolis. The SUV was found around 6:20 p.m. at the address.   
      
   Aug. 6   
   An Edina man reported his BMW sedan was stolen overnight out of his driveway   
   off Gleason Road.   
      
   The victim said "his kids probably left the keys" inside the car when it was   
   stolen. On Aug. 9, the car was found at a home in Milwaukee.   
      
   Authorities executed a search warrant on Lewis' Facebook page which revealed   
   an address sent to someone that matched where the car was found.   
      
   Police later executed a search warrant at the address and Lewis was present at   
   the time.   
      
   Aug. 16   
   A woman said she was painting cabinets inside her Minnetonka garage along   
   Oakland Road when she went inside to clean up around 11 p.m.   
      
   When she returned, her Mercedes parked inside the garage was gone. She said   
   she left the keys inside and the garage door open at the time. Charges say the   
   Mercedes is the same car seen arriving and fleeing the scene in during a   
   carjacking on Wingwood    
   Court on Aug. 17.   
      
   The car was found on Aug. 30 at a hotel in Greenfield, Wisconsin. The driver   
   of the Mercedes at the time was arrested.   
      
   Facebook messages sent from Lewis to another profile titled "Terro Tragic"   
   showed a video of the stolen car. Other messages from Lewis to the same   
   account referred to other stolen cars as well.   
      
   Aug. 17   
   A woman noticed her purse was stolen out of her car parked in her Edina garage   
   off Woodale Avenue on Aug. 18.   
      
   Security camera footage showed at about 10 a.m. on Aug. 17, a gray Mercedes   
   sedan pulled up in front of her house with two men getting out. They both went   
   into the woman's garage.   
      
   The Mercedes appeared to be the same one used in the Aug. 16 incident and the   
   carjacking on Wingwood Court that was committed about 50 minutes after the   
   Woodale Avenue theft.   
      
   At the time of the theft, the woman and her husband were inside the home.   
      
   Aug. 18   
   A woman reported both of her vehicles stolen out of her Minnetonka garage off   
   of Pine Island Road.   
      
   She told police she believed she left both keys in the vehicles and the garage   
   door open.
