A robbery suspect didn’t make it far before getting caught by the Prince George RCMP.
In the early hours of this morning (Monday), the RCMP were advised a convenience store on the corner of Fifth and Ospika Boulevard had been robbed by a single suspect.
“Frontline police officers flooded the area and located the suspect several blocks away,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.
“Police were provided with screenshots of the available video surveillance from the store within minutes of the offence occurring, which greatly increased their ability to locate and arrest the suspect.”
Police say the suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Prince George resident, Haley Elizabeth Lindstrom, and the following charges have been approved in the matter:
- Robbery
- Uttering threats
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
Lindstrom was held in custody until she could attend court.
Mounties will not be providing further updates on the file, as it is now before the courts.
