(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Area law enforcement are seeing an alarming number of cases. The Olmsted County Sheriff's Department is working with Dodge County as well as Rochester police to try and crack down on these crimes.

After more home break-ins were reported over the weekend, area law enforcement are looking for the public’s help.

Video released by the Dodge County Sheriff’s department shows a man cashing a check in Dodge County. The only problem is the check he is cashing was stolen earlier in the week from a home in Dodge County.

"We’ve seen a pattern of burglaries more localized in specific parts of the county as well as parts of Dodge County,"  said Sgt. Tom Claymon of the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Department.

Both counties and the city of Rochester saw more than a dozen additional thefts.

 (ABC 6 News)-- It was a car ride gone bad, and the person behind the wheel is only 7 years old.  It happened just after 3:00pm on 28th St SE in Rochester.  The boy was in the car, when it started rolling down the driveway, narrowly missing a few trees, and running into the side of a neighbor's house.  The homeowners were not home at the time of the incident.

It was a scary moment during a softball game today when a six-year-old boy was hit by a truck.

It happened just after 11:00 a.m. on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Park in Kasson. Mayo One was called in to transport the boy.

Despite the incident happening at a softball tournament with plenty of people around, police say no one witnessed the actual accident, but do believe the boy was leaving the bathroom and crossing a road next to the softball field when he was hit.

Police say the boy is from Chatfield. Because of his age, Mayo Clinic will not release his condition. Witnesses say he was unconscious for a short amount of time but then started screaming and was alert when getting into Mayo One. The driver of the truck that hit the boy is James Evenson of Mantorville. Police say he will likely not face any charges.
