Some Minneapolis health care workers say they don't feel safe coming to work because of an increase in crime in the surrounding area.

On Friday, Minneapolis police said they have seen a rise in robberies and carjackings in the 3rd Precinct in recent weeks. The precinct includes several major healthcare facilities like Children's Minnesota and Abbott Northwestern Hospital.

"I used to park on the street, I was, you know, a little more easy on that. But now I try to park closest to the door, but even then, stuff's happening in our parking ramps, even coming into the emergency room, just walking into our buildings there's, you know, an uneasiness," said Abbott Northwestern nurse Angela Bucchetti.
