PRINCE GEORGE — A 40-year-old Prince George man is facing a pair of charges after police allege he stole packages from a home located on the 1600 block of Gillett Street.

Prince George RCMP Cst. Jennifer Cooper says the incident occurred at 1:15 p.m. on March 11.

She says the homeowner reported that they saw a man on their front door surveillance walk up and steal two packages from the front steps.

“The homeowner provided police with a very detailed description of the suspect, which aided members in locating the male,” says Cooper.
