**Press Release**
08/04/2026

On 08/01/26, the Winona Police Department discovered that all eight of our city's Flock cameras were missing. That evening, an officer noted that there'd been no recent activity on the cameras. Officers subsequently checked the various locations where the Flock cameras were placed and found that the poles were cut down near the base. Officers located the poles nearby in the w**ds, but the cameras had been removed. As of 08/04/26, the cameras have not been located.

The stolen cameras were stationed in the following areas:

* Two near Hwy 61/Bundy Blvd
* Two near Hwy 61/Hwy 14
* Two near Hwy 14/Knopp Valley Dr
* Two near Hwy 43/Homer Rd

The timeframe of the thefts appears to be between July 29th and August 1st.

The cost to replace each camera and pole is approximately $3,000.

The investigation remains active and ongoing.

Anyone with information related to the thefts can contact the Winona Police Department at 507-457-6302 or by calling Winona Area Crimestoppers at 507-457-6530. You can also submit a tip online through https://winonaareacrimestoppers.com .
