During the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta Police officers have been both proactively checking on potential problems, as well as responding to complaints called in by the public in relation to the Public Health Orders in place.
“Sometimes our officers have to do some work behind the scenes, but persistence pays off,” said DPD in a post on their Facebook page Thursday morning.
According to DPD, in mid-February, officers were called to a report of a large house party at a house by a golf course in North Delta.
“When police arrived on scene dozens of teens were fleeing the party – unfortunately none appeared to be wearing masks,” said DPD. “At the time of the incident, it wasn’t clear who the party host might be, but this week police successfully tracked down the person who had rented the house and hosted the party.
“That individual was just recently handed a $2,300 ticket for hosting a non-compliant event. This is a reminder that we really cannot afford to be complacent. Getting successfully through this pandemic means we all have to continue to abide by the Public Health Orders, and do our part.”
