The unit assisted patrol officers by transporting an injured pelican to the rescue center for treatment. Code Enforcement Officers (CEOs) were contacted by residents at a beachside condominium complaining about water leakage from the apartment above. CEOs sought assistance from the Building Department who dispatched inspectors to the scene. The investigation revealed the neighbor above conducted work without permits which apparently led to the leakage in the apartment below. CEOs issued a code violation notice to the offending homeowners. CEOs patrolling the gated community noticed a residence along the 100 Block of Bal Bay Drive and a second residence along the 100 Block of Bal Cross Drive with unkept lawns. CEOs issued the respective homeowners a code violation warning directing them to return the landscape to Village standards. Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) participated in the unveiling of the police department's Autism Awareness vehicle. The event drew media attention and again showcased the Village's commitment to Autism awareness programs. Detectives are investigating an allegation of stalking. Preliminary investigation led detectives to the suspect and his identity was confirmed. Detectives are working with the victim to determine if criminal charges will be filed. Hotel guests at a beachside hotel reported the theft of jewelry allegedly valued at $500,000 from their hotel room. The items included earrings and a Richard Mille watch. Detectives have requested subpoenas for hotel records and are awaiting additional details from the victim to corroborate the theft. The CID continues to work with neighboring jurisdictions to identify retail theft suspects targeting businesses at the Bal Harbour Shops. Detectives share information about known retail theft suspects and look for patterns which may link them to thefts in Bal Harbour and its sister cities.
