To Strathcona Block Watches: A note from 700 Hawks about another incident last Monday night. Drug activity around the school and Maclean Park is increasing so, if you see something like the incident below happening, do call 9-1-1.
"Sorry for this late report.....but on Monday (Sept.24th) at approx. 11:30 p.m.
we heard some car doors slamming and guys yelling. We looked outside to see a white, 4 door GM type car with two people sitting in the front seat parked behind the white container parked on the street. A tough looking street guy (caucasian, dark brown hair, beard, baseball cap about 37 years old??) was on the sidewalk yelling at the guys in the car. Everyone was on a cell phones and the street guy stormed off in the direction of Hastings. We watched for a bit and the guy came back and yelled in the car again and then an Asian guy (young, red rain jacket with white stripes down arms, clean cut - college looking guy - about 25 years old???) got out of the car and walked off with the street guy.
More yelling. We called 911 and reported a suspicious vehicle and a possible
drug deal.
Street guy left and now a young woman (blonde hair, white puffy ski jacket, skinny jeans) returns with Asian college dude and they start yelling at each other. She walks off towards Hastings. Asian dude waits by the car pacing, gets inside and waits. Police arrive very quickly and ask the Asian guy to get out of the car. He is handcuffed and the car is searched for about 40 minutes.
Gloves on and they went through every inch of that car. I went to bed....so I
don't know what happened. But it must have been something if they spent so
much time going through the car.
Great to see how fast the police responded!"
