Electronics store in PG falls victim to two armed robberies in over a week

Three people are facing charges after a robbery at an electronics store in Prince George.

It is the second reported incident of this kind in just over a week.

The latest robbery on Walls Avenue happened just after noon on Tuesday according to the RCMP.

“We learned that two males and a female moved products from the shelf and then rushed towards the exit and in the process, came in contact with a staff member who was threatened by the two male suspects with a knife,” said Cpl. Craig Douglass.

Twenty-seven-year-old Keenan Frank Sam of PG has been charged with several offenses including robbery, uttering threats, four counts of failing to comply with a probation order and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.

A 15-year-old man is also facing charges of robbery and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.
