WINDSOR, ONT. Multiple residents living on Spring Garden Road submitted complaints to Windsor police after dozens of people were seen walking into Harvest Bible Church Sunday. “Every Sunday like a clockwork. It hasn’t stopped,” says resident, Andre Lalonde. “I’m completely frustrated.” Lalonde tells CTV News he called in a complaint to 311, who directed him to by-law enforcement, who then directed him to Windsor police. “They’re walking in without a mask. They’re over 100 people at a time,” says Lalonde. “No respect. They don’t care about the bylaws. They don’t care about Windsor.” “They say they’re investigating. Investigating what?” criticizes Lalonde. “You ask what they’re investigating? They say they can’t tell me. What are they doing about it?”
