The suspect, who police describe as a property offender, was arrested after a brief foot chase.

The second incident happened just off Renfrew Road back on the 16th when a suspect, described as a known drug trafficker, was driving while talking on a cell phone.

A search of the vehicle resulted in police seizing several cell phones, score sheets, drugs believed to be Cocaine, Crystal Methamphetamine, and Methamphetamine.
