RCMP investigating after youths cause disturbance at a local McDonald's

Ish Sharma North Vancouver RCMP, 17 Nov, 2022 06:12 PM

On Tuesday, just after 9:00 p.m., North Vancouver RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at a McDonald’s.

The 911 caller reported a group of 10-12 youths causing a disturbance by yelling and swearing at staff, making a mess, and refusing to leave when asked by staff.

Via release, the Mounties say one of the youths had "thrown a chair". Responding officers arrived to find the group, aged between 13 and 15, still inside the restaurant.

When officers asked them to leave, some of the youths refused and continued to swear and yell at them.

One of the youths repeatedly kicked an officer, and was arrested for assaulting a police officer, obstruction, mischief, and causing a disturbance.

After responding officers de-escalated the situation, a number of the teens obstructed officers by providing false names. Eventually, the youths departed.

The officer who was kicked was not seriously injured.
