At 5:25 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to several complaints from residents of Glenmoor, Albert and Alexandra streets of door-to-door solicitors for “Integrity Home Solutions," who were soliciting within the city limits without a proper permit.

At 2:40 p.m. Thursday, officers responded to several complaints from residents of Hillard Road, Chelsea Avenue and Clif Side Drive of a “rude” door-to-door solicitor for “Dedicated to Success” magazine sales.

The residents stated the solicitor became extremely rude with them when they declined his sales pitch. Officers located the solicitor in the unit block of Clif Side Drive and advised him of the soliciting ordinance requiring a proper permit. He was conveyed to the local 7-11 store, where he called his supervisor for a ride.
