An anonymous complainant reported construction noises from a neighboring apartment. Upon investigating further, CEOs discovered a contractor making renovations without the necessary permits. CEOs issued the owner a code violation notice and directed the contractor to cease work until proper permits were obtained. Code Enforcement Officers patrolling the gated community discovered bulk items placed on the curb on the 100 Block of Camden Drive. The items were placed at the curb too early in the week. CEOs spoke with workers at the property and the items were promptly pulled from the curb. Code Enforcement Officers continue their vigilance for persons walking dogs without a leash. CEOs responded to one such complaint on the 10200 Block of Collins Avenue. The complainant described a woman walking her poodle on the hardpack without a leash. CEOs investigated but did not locate the alleged offender. Code Enforcement Officers assisted Patrol operations in COVID-19 related assignments. CEOs took up various post positions on the beach and hardpack to ensure compliance with beach closures and social distancing directives. Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations Division (CID), with the assistance of the Patrol division, is currently investigating the theft of a Mercedes Benz from the 200 Block of Bal Bay Drive. Bal Harbour officers were able to track the vehicle to a location in Davie, Florida. The vehicle was processed for fingerprints and released on the scene to the victim. Patrol officers assisted the CID in the investigation of a suspicious incident that may be linked to a recent auto theft case. A maintenance employee at a condominium on the 10200 Block of Collins Avenue discovered two males attempting to jump over the rear wall into the gated community. The suspects' actions appear to be an attempt to covertly enter the gated community. CID is actively investigating the case. The CID issued a situational awareness alert to officers on patrol officers requesting enhanced patrols in the area of the condominiums that boarder the east side of the gated community. Suspects are using this area as a point of entry into the gated community by scaling the perimeter wall.
