Eastside hotel, was posted to the Twitter account of Supt. Michelle
Davey on Wednesday.
A high-ranking Vancouver police officer made a
disturbing find this week in one of the city's notorious Downtown
Eastside hotels, which have been in the news for their abysmal living
conditions and neglect for years.
Supt. Michelle Davey, with the Vancouver
Police Department, found a sinkful of used syringes in a single room
occupancy (SRO) in the neighbourhood that had seemingly been turned into
a pigeon's nest.
Three white eggs sat atop of dozens of used needles, which she insisted in a Tweet were not staged.
