A three-day initiative in Windsor's Glengarry neighbourhood has resulted in the arrest of 14 people.
On Feb. 20, 21, and 22, members of the Windsor Police Problem-Oriented Policing Unit, or POP Unit, partnered with the Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation on an operation to support public safety at apartment buildings in the 300 and 400 blocks of Glengarry Avenue.
Over the three days, officers arrested 14 suspects, laid 22 charges, and executed 10 outstanding arrest warrants in the area.
The charges included eight counts of failure to comply with a release order, theft under $5,000, and trespassing.
In late August 2024, officers began regular patrols inside Wheelton Manor, and officers have been stationed inside the apartment building at 333 Glengarry Ave., right at the corner of University Avenue East.
The partnership with community health partners is to provide real-time response and support to people living in the neighbourhood with the overall goal of reducing violent crime.
