On Nov. 8, at 6:16 p.m., officers responded to the 300 block of City Centre after a report of an extremely intoxicated man who was attempting to sleep inside a business and could barely sit upright. The man was arrested for causing a disturbance by being drunk in a public place and was put in a cell for his safety before being released without charge.
Days later, on Nov. 11 at 6:38 p.m., a patrol officer stopped a driver on Haisla Boulevard, resulting in a traffic stop where officers found out that the driver was prohibited from driving. The driver was then arrested under Section 95 of the Motor Vehicle Act and released with a court date. Tickets were also given for failing to produce insurance and failing to produce out-of-province registration, and the vehicle was towed.
On Nov. 13 at around 9:39 p.m., police received a report that two males were throwing rocks at the windows of a residence on Wedeene Street. The homeowner told officers that they heard sounds consistent with rocks hitting the window. Police did not locate any damage to the home, and despite patrols in the area, no suspects were found.
Then, on Nov. 15 at 11:40 p.m., an officer on patrol stopped a vehicle traveling along Haisla Boulevard in a way that raised concern. After the driver blew a “Fail” in a breath sample, he was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition, and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
Rounding out the week, police received a mischief complaint on Nov. 16 at 10:55 a.m., after a resident in the Whitesail neighbourhood discovered both rear tires on their vehicle had been damaged overnight while parked between 1:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Officers confirmed the damage and are canvassing the area for possible CCTV footage as the investigation continues.
