BURNABY (NEWS 1130) – A bit of a surprise for people at a Burnaby Starbucks on Saturday after police say a man came through the ceiling after climbing into a vent.

Burnaby RCMP officers were called to the coffee shop near Metropolis at Metrotown just after 3 p.m. and say they apprehended the man under the Mental Health Act.

He was taken to hospital but won’t be facing any charges.

The RCMP doesn’t have a clue as to why he was in the ceiling.
