Vancouver Police are investigating an incident at a downtown fast-food restaurant after a video circulated on social media showing two men yelling at staff and customers while claiming to have guns and be part of a gang.
According to the news release by VPD, they received a report Friday night that the two men entered the restaurant near Nelson and Howe streets, yelled at staff, and damaged property inside the business. The men left before officers arrived.
