Omaha Police Department Crime Report Digest: March 1-7, 2025
On March 1, officers responded to a robbery at a convenience store near 72nd and Dodge Streets. The suspect allegedly brandished a weapon and demanded cash from the register before fleeing on foot. No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.
March 2 saw a string of vehicle break-ins reported in the Dundee neighborhood. Multiple residents awoke to find their car windows smashed and valuables missing. Police are reviewing security camera footage from the area.
A domestic disturbance call on March 3 in the Benson area resulted in one arrest for alleged assault. The victim was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
On March 4, police investigated a shooting near 24th and Lake Streets. One male victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. No arrests have been made as detectives continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
March 5 brought reports of vandalism at several businesses along the Maple Street corridor. Graffiti and broken windows were documented. Business owners are asked to review any surveillance video that may assist the investigation.
A high-speed pursuit occurred on March 6 when officers attempted to stop an allegedly stolen vehicle on I-80. The chase ended near 42nd Street when the suspect crashed into a guardrail. The driver was taken into custody and faces multiple charges.
On March 7, police responded to an armed robbery at a pharmacy in the Aksarben Village area. Two suspects allegedly entered the store, displayed weapons, and stole prescription medications before fleeing in a dark-colored sedan. No injuries were reported.
Throughout the week, officers conducted increased patrols and traffic enforcement in school zones as students returned from spring break. Several citations were issued for speeding and distracted driving violations.
The Omaha Police Department's gang unit carried out targeted operations resulting in multiple arrests and seizures of illegal weapons and narcotics. These efforts are part of an ongoing initiative to reduce gang-related violence in the city.
Detectives continue to investigate a homicide that occurred in late February near 16th and Vinton Streets. Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
Analysis of recent crime data shows a slight uptick in property crimes, particularly vehicle thefts and burglaries. Residents are reminded to secure their homes and vehicles, and to not leave valuables in plain sight.
Violent crime rates remain relatively stable compared to the same period last year, with a marginal decrease in reported assaults. However, robbery incidents have seen a small increase, prompting increased patrols in commercial areas.
The police department's community outreach team hosted several neighborhood watch meetings this week, focusing on crime prevention strategies and building stronger police-community partnerships.
Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the Omaha Police Department. For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency situations or to provide tips, contact the department's main line at 402-444-5600 or submit information anonymously through Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402-444-STOP.
