Vancouver police say a 17-year-old boy is facing firearms charges after police seized a “cache” of loaded guns and weapons from a Downtown Eastside rooming house.
In a Tuesday media release, police said they discovered the weapons while responding to a report someone had illegally entered a room at the Grand Union near Abbott and Hastings streets on Saturday.
The teen allegedly confronted officers with a loaded gun, police said.
