Amid a crime wave since the death of George Floyd, the Minneapolis Police Department has informed residents in an email that they should "prepare" to be robbed and to obey criminals.

"Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet" and "do as they say," the advisory states, reports Alpha News.

WCCO-TV in Minneapolis reported the police department has reported a 46% increase in carjackings and a 36% increase in robberies compared to the same time last year.

The message to residents warned that "some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun."
