“After hitting multiple spike belts deployed by police officers, the suspect abandoned the stolen vehicle near the Red Rock Scales and fled on foot, subsequently stealing a quad from a bystander in the area. The suspect crashed the quad shortly afterward and was arrested by police officers. Investigators identified the suspect as John Robert Barton Craig. He was transported to the Prince George RCMP detachment and held for court.”

The B.C. Prosecution Service has approved the following charges in this matter:

• Obstruct a police officer
• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle
• Flight was pursued by a police officer
• Theft under $5000
• Assaulting a police officer
• Possession of stolen property over $5000
• Break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence
• Operate a conveyance while prohibited
• Driving while prohibited

“This was a very dynamic event, which was successfully concluded through the hard work of many police officers working together. Less than an hour after receiving the initial report, a violent offender was arrested despite his many attempts to evade police,” adds Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.

This file is now before the courts. Mr. Craig will remain in custody until his next court appearance
