PRINCE GEORGE — A Prince George auto dealership is once again dealing with the aftermath of a break-in and vehicle theft, with the owner believing a familiar suspect may be responsible.

The owner of Gustafson’s Kia says two vehicles were stolen from the dealership early Wednesday morning, marking the latest in a series of incidents that have impacted the business over the past several months.

According to the dealership owner, the individual suspected in Wednesday’s theft is believed to be the same person connected to a break and enter at the Prince George dealership in July, as well as a vehicle theft from Gustafson’s Kia in Williams Lake last year.

Court records show Michael Dally has been charged with one count of breaking and entering Gustafson’s Kia in Prince George with intent to commit an indictable offence. The charge stems from an alleged incident on July 4, 2026.

Dally is scheduled to appear in Prince George Law Courts for an arraignment hearing on October 6, 2026, at 9 a.m.

After CKPG News’ reporting, RCMP sent out the following statement:
