A cyclist who was travelling on Monterey Avenue near Oak Bay Avenue was knocked to the ground when a driver opened their car door around 8 a.m. on Oct. 7.
The 35-year-old man who was on the bike sustained minor injuries while the driver was issued a ticket for opening their door while unsafe.
The incident was among the calls the Oak Bay Police responded to between Oct. 5 and 11.
Oak Bay police removed two drivers from the road for intoxication last week.
On Oct. 6, a resident called in a report of two people smoking cannabis and eating edibles. It led to a traffic stop at the 2900-block of Beach Drive where the driver, a 54-year-old man, was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition.
That same day, police stopped a 74-year-old Oak Bay woman for driving impaired. Her vehicle was impounded for 30 days from the intersection of Bowker Avenue and Beach Drive. She was also given a 90-day driving prohibition.
There was another reported case of fraud that came on Oct. 5. The report said a company who called themselves Just Ask deceived the caller’s father as he let them access his computer.
“Luckily no funds were taken,” Fisher said. “No legitimate company will ask to access your computer at any time.”
