Police say the man has a ‘violent history’ with law enforcement
A man has been charged after he allegedly threatened to kill customers with a hatchet at a Mountain Equipment Company store in North Vancouver.
The man first entered the store, asking to buy bear spray and a knife, according to witness reports given to North Vancouver RCMP. Once he was denied, he became upset and threatened to kill people there, said Const. Mansoor Sahak, adding that there were less than 50 customers in the store at the time.
Police were on scene minutes after the first 911 calls, Sahak said, and the man was taken into custody “without any further incident.” No one was injured, he added. The man had a bail hearing on Wednesday, Sahak added, with recommendations of a charge for possession of weapon for dangerous purpose. The results of that bail hearing are not yet known.
