Nanaimo RCMP say they are close to concluding their investigation of an incident where a woman threw coffee at a McDonald’s drive-thru.
Dashcam footage from October 14 caught a woman on video walking up to a drive-thru window, throwing coffee at an employee inside, then walking away.
Police say the employee was not injured in the incident.
“This incident struck a nerve with many and the video of the incident was shared numerous times on social media,” said Constable Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
