The witness said another police car came along, with two blonde females, possibly in their 20s, being taken into the car. Five minutes later, the witness said an older man was brought out with handcuffs on and he was searched.

“And then (police) slowly started coming back out, but still stuck around while they searched the unit,” said the witness, who called the incident scary.
