Over the last year, Langley RCMP has attended one property in Willoughby 27 times!
These calls for service were very rarely minor in nature and included a shooting, a home invasion, drugs and weapons. Virtually every team within Langley RCMP as well as some integrated units attended the residence to deal with issues arising. General Duty, Community Policing, Drug Section, Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and Township of Langley Bylaws each dealt with the tenants living in the residence illegally.
In addition to the above offences, officers attended the residence in the 20400 block of 78th Avenue for fentanyl trafficking, possession of stolen property, robbery with a firearm, breach of the peace, mischief, and bylaws offences.
Langley RCMP Community Policing officers worked closely with Township of Langley Bylaws and was able to evict the illegal tenants in the residence. This is one of the many success stories of the recent collaboration of the Langley Joint Operations Task Force.
It is hoped the removal of these poorly behaved people can provide a measure of comfort to the neighbourhood residents.
