Citizen assist: A resident of a condominium complex called police on a group of people for trespassing. The resident told police there were several people inside the condo complex’s maintenance shed playing loud music and cursing, and she did not feel comfortable. Police went to the shed and spoke with three men, who identified themselves as a project manager, plumber and electrician, each of whom was wearing polos matching a contractor that performs work at the complex. One of the three showed police a key to unlock the shed and said they were authorized to be there and were just hanging out waiting for an Uber. Police advised them of the complaint, and the three said they would happily go to the project manager’s unit on property. Police went back to the complainant’s unit, who was not satisfied and requested the three be formally trespassed. The officer advised the woman of trespass law, suggested her to call the HOA, and closed the case.
