31 arrested in police operation in Glengarry neighbourhood 

A three-day police operation in Windsor’s Glengarry neighbourhood has resulted in 31 arrests and nearly 40 criminal charges.

From September 18 to 20, 2025, members of the Windsor Police Service’s Problem-Oriented Policing Unit (POP), in partnership with the Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation, carried out focused enforcement at apartment buildings in the 300 and 400 blocks of Glengarry Avenue.

Over the course of the initiative, officers laid a total of 39 criminal charges. These included break-and-enter (x 2), theft under $5,000 (x 5), possession of stolen property (x 2), and failure to comply with a probation order (x 12).

The arrests are part of a broader high-visibility initiative by police and community partners to address persistent safety concerns and improve living conditions in Glengarry, an area frequently impacted by crime and social challenges.

“Creating a safer environment in Glengarry is one of our top priorities,” said Staff Sergeant Brian Caffarena. “We know this neighbourhood has faced ongoing challenges, and operations like this are part of our continued effort to support the community, reduce crime, and build a stronger sense of safety and trust.”

Following this enforcement initiative, our Nurse Police and Crisis Response Teams, as well as other health and human service provider partners, will continue to be on site to provide access to vital resources, treat wounds, and deliver other essential medical care.
