Vancouver police arrested two men early Saturday morning for allegedly hosting a party in a downtown condo, a violation of B.C.’s provincial COVID-19 restrictions.
Prior to Saturday’s arrests, VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said police had received 10 previous complaints concerning parties in the high-rise tower near Burrard and Alberni streets.
Officers busted into the suite around 2 a.m.
“After repeated complaints from the public and unsuccessful efforts to convince these hosts to stop having parties, our officers obtained a search warrant and forced entry into the condo Saturday to arrest two men,” said Addison. “The alleged hosts were taken to jail, and six guests were issued $230 tickets for being at the gathering.”
