Vancouver police say they handed out $11,500 in fines early Sunday after several residents in a downtown condo building reported a loud party in a neighbouring apartment that violated health orders. Officers then obtained a search warrant to enter the suite. Police said the host of the party was issued a $2,300 violation ticket for allowing the party to take place inside a residence, while 16 guests were issued a $575 fine each for attending the party. Officers also seized four speakers, a turntable and various cables as evidence, the statement said. Restrictions that were still in effect over the weekend banned social gatherings of any size inside residences with those living outside your household.
