On the evening of October 7, 2022, members were doing proactive village foot patrols in the 4000 block of Whistler Way and saw a man holding a mobile phone with lines of white powder believed to be cocaine. When the man saw police, he tipped the phone to dump the powder, wiped his phone off, then threw two small bags of similar white powder down the steps. Police arrested the man, who was from out of area, and later released him without charges given he had no previous drug history involving police and because the quantities of drugs found was small.
