RCMP Discover Noise-Transmission Devices in Burnaby Condo After Responding to Disturbance Call

Royal Canadian Mounted Police charged a man after seizing devices described as 'thumpers' in his Burnaby condo, court records show, with a court date set for Feb. 24.
An officer wrote that he believes the device's purpose was to transmit noise and vibration into neighbouring units, matching the upstairs complainant's reports of rhythmic thumping and looping dog-barking audio; after two RCMP officers responded in late October, two more noise complaints followed.
Warrant paperwork shows the warrant document contains a photo and an Amazon listing for a similar noise deadener, while an officer said the listing appears inaccurate and similar devices are called 'zhenlouqi' on Chinese platforms.
The upstairs complainant said the noise forced the complainant's partner to leave and stay with family, and police seized a large hunting knife from the man taken to hospital; RCMP declined to comment.
Later this month the accused is due back in court on Feb. 24, court records show, and Vancouver lawyer Alex Chang called the devices 'unusual' and said `You know, there's no reason for having a device like that`.
