Vancouver Police investigate disturbing incident at downtown fast-food restaurant

Vancouver Police are investigating an incident at a downtown fast-food restaurant after a video circulating on social media showed two men yelling at staff and customers, claiming to have guns and to be part of a gang.

Police received a report Friday night that the men entered the restaurant near Nelson and Howe streets, yelled at staff and damaged property inside the business. They left before officers arrived.
