CEOs immediately contacted the site supervisor who ceased all work on the spot. CEOs continue their patrols of the beach areas for violations of dog restrictions. CEOs encountered guests from a beachside hotel walking their dog on the beach. When CEOs explained the restriction prohibiting dogs on the beach, the guests became upset and stated they would complain to the necessary authorities. Despite their dislike of the restrictions, the guests complied with the request to remove the dog from the beach. CEOs discovered a U-Haul truck parked overnight at a residence on the 200 Block of Bal Bay Drive. CEOs contacted the homeowner who explained the truck had mechanical problems but would be removed as soon as possible. CEOs issued a verbal warning and the homeowner agreed to have the truck removed. While patrolling the construction sites in the gated community, CEOs discovered a site along the 200 Block of Bal Bay Drive was not in compliance with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) protocols. CEOs issued the homeowner a code violation warning and met with construction personnel on the scene. CEOs directed the homeowner and contractor to install bumper buddies (filtration systems) along the storm drains to protect the storm water systems from contamination. Port -a -Potty facilities at the same construction site were not properly shielded from site as required by Village codes. CEOs issued a code violation warning and directed the contractorto shield the bathroom pods. CEOs noticed the pool at a residence on the 100 Block of Park Drive was not properly maintained. The pool water was green and its stagnant water served as a breeding pool for mosquitos. CEOs issued a code violation warning and directed the property owners to clean the pool and restore it to proper code standards. Criminal Investigations Officers discovered an unoccupied vehicle with front-end damage abandoned at a condominium building on the west side of Collins Avenue. Further investigation revealed the vehicle was stolen from the City of Miami. A short while later, an unknown male stole a vehicle from the 200 Block of Park Drive and was able to exit the Village gates. Using GPS systems, the vehicle was tracked to the area of Biscayne Boulevard south of 123rd Street. Bal Harbour Officers responded to the scene, but the vehicle was not at its designated location. A second GPS activation revealed the vehicle was located a few blocks south of where officers were searching. BaI Harbour Officers and Miami -Dade Officers located the vehicle and arrested the suspect without incident. Believing the auto theft suspect may be the same person who abandoned the vehicle at the condominium building, detectives investigated further and obtained security video from the condo building. Upon reviewing the video, detectives determined the suspect arrested in the stolen car was the same person who abandoned the vehicle stolen from the City of Miami. Having developed sufficient probable cause, detectives charged the suspect with the Maimi auto theft, thus clearing two auto theft cases by arrest. Detectives are working with security personnel from a beachside condominium building regarding a theft of a bicycle valued at $7,000. The suspect took the bicycle, but it was later recovered by building security personnel. Detectives identified the suspect and learned the suspect was on probation for robbery and impersonating a police officer. Since the subject's whereabouts are unknown, detectives are coordinating with the subject's probation officer to take him into custody on his next report date.
