Officials with Alberta Sheriffs are hoping residents living in Albert Park/Radisson Heights will be able to take their kids trick-or-treating safely this coming Halloween now that a problem property in the area has been shut down. According to Alberta Sheriffs, Calgary police visited the 1,066 square-foot detached bungalow 37 times between January 2022 and May 2023 for calls about drug use and drug trafficking, disturbances, violence and threats.
Then, when the warning letter failed to result in any improvement, SCAN investigators applied for a community safety order. On Tuesday, crews put up a fence around the property, boarded up the house and changed the locks to prevent anyone from getting inside. "Our hope that they can enjoy Halloween, as it's upcoming, with their children, with their kids, and have a renewed sense of being safe in their community."
