VANCOUVER Two suspects have been charged in connection with an ugly incident at a Richmond, B.C., coffee shop earlier this year that allegedly involved racial slurs. The RCMP said officers were called to Rocanini Coffee Roasters in the city s Steveston neighbourhood after the manager reported an alleged assault on March 29. Staff said two customers came in, ignored COVID-19 protocols and then became agitated after being asked to move tables. Surveillance video captured drinks being poured on the floor and an object being thrown as a couple was leaving the coffee shop. Authorities were told racial slurs were uttered during the incident as well.
