Police at 58 Derry St Apartment A

This morning at about 10:50am Guelph Police were at 58 Derry St yet again. Police banged on the apartment door for quite some time with no one coming to the door.

Police left a short time later with no further incidence.

Fire Department Respond to 58 Derry ST Apartment A

5:50am several Firetrucks arrived to 58 Derry St and were seen entering apartment A. Woke up half the neighborhood. Fans were heard being set up to clear up what is assumed to be smoke.

 Fire Department left about 20 minutes later.

The Landlord Responds...

Dear Mr. Axtmann: I'm a homeowner who lives in the area of 58 Derry, a property I've been informed you own, and am writing on behalf of several residents who have become increasingly concerned about the aberrant, possibly criminal behaviour of one or more of your tenants. As a responsible landlord, I'm sure you can understand why those of us with young children would object to loud screaming matches in the street, reports of criminal behaviour involving drugs and bike thefts and a rash of recent car and other break-ins in this area that have been traced back by numerous people to the tenants on your property. We've lived here 10 years, and until a year ago, never had an issue with any of your renters, all of whom respected the neighbourhood and made an effort to fit in. The current situation, however, is unsustainable, unacceptable and frightening to small children and I hope you will take action to set things right (ie..eviction, not renewing lease, etc). You should know that residents in this area are planning a meeting involving police and city counsellors to devise an action plan to deal with this situation. best, Joel

 I understand your concern. I am aware of several of your concerns and am doing doing everything on my power to deal with them. Due to the neigbourr good you live in i am having a difficult time believing all your accusations. If their are break ins and thefts those are issues to be dealt with by the police not a resident. I will always cooperate with the police. In case you weren't aware there is a drug problem in guelph as indicated by the needles and syringes found around the city but especially in the downtown area. I would suggest you contact the police as opposed too me when you have an issue. I will do everything within the law to corect the problem but that is as much as I can do. I have other tenants within the building and have only received three complaints which I have dealt with. I will be contacting guelph police to follow up on all the complaints which you and others have filed to see if any are actionable

Serious Incident At 58 Derry St Apartment A

5am this morning a car (dark grey 2-door Infinity) was heard squealing it 's tires and racing around Derry St. (See Video Below). This vehicle driver and passenger went to 58 Derry St at 5am  and there was some type of incident at this location.

From 5am until 5:20am two males arrive 58 Derry St apartment A and are seen entering and leaving the apartment.

From 5:20am until 8:20am the door to the apartment  left wide open.

Police (2 cruisers) arrive at 8:20am and enter inside the apartment. One Police Officer has an automatic weapon with him. I've never seen Guelph Police respond to this address with an automatic weapon in display and on their person.

At 8:30am one male that does not live there leaves the apartment on his own.

Police leave at 8:40am 

About 9:30am Police return to 58 Derry St and speak with tenant outside on the street. It appears he was attacked/robbed by his friend and the tenant is asking police to arrest the guy.

The irony...


Edited-Wanted to be clear that Police had the automatic weapon and not anyone at the property. What this likely means is that the response was serious enough that Police needed to have this type of weapon at the ready. 

She's gone!

It appears as though the female tenant of Apartment A has indeed left the apartment for an indefinite amount of time. Her bags were packed and she was picked up this morning.

According to Police recently, she was going away for a 3 month rehab stint.

It will be calmer for a while now around the neighborhood but it will remain to be seen if the situation in our area gets better or worse.

Police at Apartment A Yet Again

Sunday November 5th 10pm

They were at it again with the screaming and yelling and smashing things.  Police showed up and spoke with the tenants of Apartment A and promptly left. Police said that she informed them that she is going away to rehab for 3 months. This will stop the domestic situations for a while but in past when she leaves, he ramps up his bike chop shop in the apartment and his friends constantly bring in the stolen bikes and break them down for parts.

The apartment door has been off its hinges for a few days now. Police said that it is because this apartment was broken into yet again.

Police will not give them a ticket for noise or do much as I was told that they have no money to pay for the ticket and simply won't pay it. They have no vehicle so their licence being suspended would do nothing. They said "It isn't worth our time but just keep calling us."

MALES ARRESTED FOR CONSTRUCTION TRAILER BREAK-IN

(MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH PERTH, ON) Early Sunday morning July 19, 2015, Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers in Listowel were dispatched to a Krotz St West address, where a construction trailer had been broken into.

Investigation revealed that the break-in had occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on July 19th and that a generator and tools were stolen from inside the trailer.

From information gathered and evidence observed at the scene, it was determined that the stolen property was located at a neighbouring residence.

Officers obtained judicial authority and with a search warrant entered the neighbouring residence. The stolen property was located inside the residence. Three males were subsequently arrested for the break-in.

21-year-old Dustin James LUNZ of Palmerston has been charged with the following Criminal Code of Canada offences: Break, enter a place commit indictable offence and Fail to comply with probation order X2.

He attended Bail Court in Stratford on July 20, 2015, where he was remanded into custody until July 27, 2015, for a bail hearing.

21-year-old Tyler James Allan RIEDIGER of Palmerston has been charged with the following Criminal Code of Canada offences: Break, enter a place commit indictable offence and Fail to comply with probation order

He attended Bail Court in Stratford on July 20, 2015, where he was remanded into custody until July 24, 2015, for a bail hearing.

A 17 year old male has been charged with the following Criminal Code of Canada offences: Break, enter a place commit indictable offence, Theft under $5,000, and Possession property obtained by crime under $5,000.

He has been released on a "Promise to Appear" and will be appearing in Listowel Youth Court on September 09, 2015, to answer to the charges.

The Perth County OPP would not have been able to solve this crime if not for the assistance of the public. Immediate calls advising police of suspicious activity, unusual noises (i.e. breaking glass, dogs barking, or strange voices) are vital in solving crimes in our neighbourhoods.

Anyone with any further information about this crime or any other criminal activity is requested to contact the Perth County OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), and you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

She's Baaaaack!

Well after just 2 weeks of relative silence (but still illegal activity) from Apartment A, the girlfriend is back in residence. It appears that after the last altercation between the 2 where Guelph Police were yet again involved she is back. It is logical to assume that she was incarcerated during these last few weeks. It will be interesting to see how long it takes before there is another domestic situation at this address.

Yesterday there was a red Chev 4 door vehicle that attended Apartment A. When the occupant went back to his vehicle, he could be seen with a small baggie of what is assumed to be meth and cash. Sad to see small kids toys in the back seat.

Monday August 21, 2017 Guelph Police attend to 58 Derry St. Apartment A

Monday August 21, 2017

Guelph Police responded to 58 Derry St. Apartment A due to a call regarding suspicious males in a black VW Jetta with dark tinted windows that were breaking into apartment A. The 2 males were seen trying to pry the window open as well as picking the lock of the door to apartment A. The 2 males succeeded in gaining entry into the apartment. They left shortly before Guelph Police arrived.

It was learned that the 2 males had permission to "break in" as the tenant was asleep and he was ok with them coming in. Guelph Police left the premises and reported that the male tenant was now asleep "from doing meth all night". Guelph police encouraged residents to keep calling about any suspicious activity at this address.

On Wednesday August 9th, the tenant of apartment A was outside screaming on the driveway that his apartment had been broken into and his TV and things had been stolen. When Guelph Police arrived, he informed them that he knew who had stolen his things and that they were his friends driving a black car. Guelph Police left the scene shortly afterwards.

Apartment A Illegal Activity

 There are are 3 units at this house and 2 of the tenants are great but there is a 3rd tenant living at Apartment A. This apartment is on the side of the house located up the metal staircase. If you are living in the neighborhood you have likely heard and have seen, the police are frequently at this apartment due to the domestic situations with yelling and screaming at all hours. What you may not know is that while that situation has now resolved itself (she is no longer there) the issues are far worse now. The person living there is possibly operating a stolen bicycle chop shop. You may not be able to see but several times a day, the resident and his accomplishes will bring several bikes up to and inside the apartment to get disassembled for parts and then presumably sold for drugs. You will also see many young males coming to presumably buy drugs from apartment A.

Last week on August 9th, 2017 this apartment was broken into and robbed. The apartment resident complained it was his friends that robbed him.

Guelph Police have been called many many times about the illegal activity at this apartment but nothing seems to be done about it.

Screaming and yelling is one thing but now this is a whole other ballgame and it is starting to erode the neighborhood. 

Last week it was this apartment that was robbed but it is likely that soon other homes in the neighborhood be a target.

This site is so that you are aware of what is happening to this neighborhood and hope that you call Guelph Police when you see illegal activity at this address.
