The suspect followed the complainant right to the CoPS station and advised she was taking pictures because the suspect had allegedly run a stop sign and sped through a school zone. Both parties advised and cautioned: the complainant for his driving, the suspect for how she handled the issue. Parties sent on their way, separately.
March 15, 1:30 p.m., 12th Avenue: Complainant reported the neighbour had been throwing Ziploc bags of water over the back fence into her yard at her dog. Subject advised he was doing this because he was annoyed with the dog barking incessantly. Subject advised his actions were not at all appropriate and that he should gather necessary evidence for Delta's bylaws department so it could handle the issue.
March 17, 16:45 p.m., 1500-block of 56th Street: Complainant received a phone call from another police agency advising him his licence plates had been recovered.
