THREE MEN FINED FOR COVID-19 VIOLATIONS IN B.C. EATERY

Three men in Port Moody, B.C., have been fined for not following restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 at a restaurant. A statement from Port Moody police says officers were called to a local restaurant Saturday night after complaints from staff about their “erratic and belligerent behaviour.” Police say staff complained that the group was refusing to sit down, yelling, entering an area restricted to staff, vomiting on their table and spitting on it when asked to leave. Officers issued the men multiple tickets totalling nearly $700. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, pictured, announced fines for COVID-19 infractions in August, ranging up to $2,000 for hosting large gatherings. Fines of up to $200 can also be imposed on anyone abusing or bullying workers trying to implement safety plans.
