A bit of an embarrassing situation on the Canada Line this week for ten young men.
Transit police say they got a call about a group of young men dressed as gangsters boarding at Yaletown Station Tuesday afternoon, with one man tucking a handgun into his pants.
Officers stopped the train, boarded and demanded everyone to put their hands on their heads.
The ten guys were ordered off, and the gun was found in a bag.
But lo and behold: The group turned out to be staff from a local restaurant on a corporate dodge ball team, heading to a tournament.
Their theme was “West Coast Gangsters” and the weapon was a “handgun-style pellet gun.”
They got a warning for playing around with a fake weapon and were let go.
