For the second time in a week, police in the Twin Cities are investigating dozens of vehicle break-ins.

Upwards of 70 car windows were smashed in the early morning hours on Monday in Minneapolis. Reports came in from several areas in the 2nd and 5th precincts.

Minneapolis police are trying to figure out if these break-ins are connected to similar cases last week, when dozens of cars were ransacked, with no money taken.

Cars were also broken into in Bloomington, in the Great Wolf Lodge parking lot. Bloomington police say 40 parked cars were targeted. 

"I honest to got thought that maybe it was a bad storm and stuff blew through the windows," said Troy Pfefferle, who was on vacation with his 7-year-old daughter.

Pfefferle says the thieves took his license and registration and damaged more than just his windows. 

"Caught the side of my vehicle, wrecked the undercarriage," Pfefferle said. 

Authorities said they're reviewing video and scanning social media for any leads. They're also teaming up with nearby cities that have experienced similar damage in recent weeks. 

Bloomington police captured a photo of who they say is the suspect. 

Victims in northeast Minneapolis last week said it wasn't cash that was taken, but IDs and insurance cards. 

Minneapolis police are checking city cameras, but also asking residents to check any surveillance video they might have. Investigators are urging anyone with doorbell or security cameras to check for suspicious activity and bring any helpful footage directly to police. 

You can also register your cameras with the city's program, which allows officers to respond more swiftly when crimes happen. 

No arrests have been made, but Minneapolis police say there are extra patrols in the hardest-hit areas.
