A 17-year-old boy has been charged after Vancouver Police discovered a cache of loaded guns and other dangerous weapons inside a Downtown Eastside rooming house Saturday.
Officers working in the Downtown Eastside responded to a report Saturday that someone had unlawfully entered a room inside the Grand Union, a rooming house near Abbott and West Hastings streets. When officers arrived, they were confronted by a teenager holding a loaded gun.
