Prolific offender arrested following string of break-and-enters
PRINCE GEORGE — A man Prince George RCMP call a prolific offender is in police custody following five commercial break-and-enters earlier this month in downtown Prince George.
RCMP have arrested 44-year-old Allan Douglas Nigh following the break-ins that occurred between March 2, 2025 and March 7, 2025. He is known to police following similar crimes last year in Prince George.
“The incidents occurred after the buildings were closed up for the night and the employees had left. Despite the lack of witnesses, however, police officers were provided with surveillance from the businesses themselves, as well as from neighbouring businesses, which helped them to identify a suspect. On March 7, 2025, the identified suspect was located by police officers and arrested for breaking-and-entering,” reads an RCMP news release.
“These incidents were all linked together and a suspect was identified due to how quickly our investigators were provided with good quality video surveillance. Especially in an investigation where finding eye witnesses is not likely, having video surveillance provided directly to investigators is crucial to pulling together the pieces of the investigation as swiftly as this one,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
