The B.C. government wants to confiscate more than $100,000 in cash that was seized from a Vancouver apartment where police also found an arsenal of weapons and a large quantity of drugs.

On Oct. 17, 2017, police dispatched officers to the Hotel Empress at 235 East Hastings after receiving a 911 call that a resident was throwing items out of a window into the lane below, according to a notice of civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court.

After arriving at the scene, police found that a vehicle in the lane had been damaged by items thrown from the suite and that items were still being tossed from the window, says the court document.

Police went up to the suite and arrested a man named Trevor Taylor for mischief. During the arrest, they noticed an AK-47 assault rifle, according to the document.

Entering the suite to check the safety of other people inside and to confirm the presence of the weapon, police found that the rifle was loaded with a round in the chamber.
