Apologies for small font on the last eNewsletter. As part of the process of figuring out exactly how our eNews will work (and look), I didn't realize I had somehow made the font much smaller.
|| = || __ PERSON IN MENTAL DISTRESS LAST EVENING
A dog walker on Toronto Crescent last night came across a person in mental distress. The man was shirtless, wearing faded blue jeans and had long dark hair. He was agitated, yelling and incoherent. Police were called and responded promptly.
This incident occurred on the St Andrews hill between 7:00pm and 8:00pm. Anyone who sees this man (or anyone in similar condition) should avoid engaging directly and call police. We are grateful for the kind community member who took steps to help the man (and ensure the safety of residents).
The man in this photo was observed a few nights ago sitting near the ball diamond eating his lunch. He had a blue bin next to him. (We are not sure if it is the same person as the one described above.) A little later, he was caught on camera hauling the bin down a back alley. Since it is unusual to take your bin for a walk (or to take it out to a ball game), this was noted by the home owner.
Even later in the evening, the neighbour (who saw this man) also saw an abandoned bin next to what appears to be a homeless camp. The camp is near the blue apartments (towards 16th Avenue). If you are missing your bin, it may be worth having a look there (though it may also have 'moved on' by now).
SAHCA is committed to helping increase awareness in order to decrease opportunity for those causing trouble in our community. We encourage residents to:
- secure their homes, garages, vehicles, yards and other belongings,
- to install cameras and alarms where possible,
- to report to police as needed, and
- to watch out for each other.
We will continue updating on suspicious events in St Andrews Heights using the headline 'HOOD WATCH.
