PRINCE GEORGE–One man is in custody following a report of a suspicious person, followed by a foot chase over the weekend.
Prince George RCMP received a report of a suspicious male exiting a driveway on Dalhousie Drive at around 1:35 a.m. on Sunday, Jan.26th. Minutes later an officer located a man fitting the description of the suspicious male. Police found the suspect breaking into a vehicle near the corner of McGill Crescent and Simon Fraser Drive.
The suspect fled, initiating a foot chase, running down and across Highway 16. A member of the public driving down Highway 16 down Peden Hill observed the foot chase and offered the officer a ride to a more advantageous location down the hill.
A team from the Prince George Police Dog Services Section arrived to assist. The suspect was tracked through brush, over fences and even onto the roof of a commercial storage facility along the Highway. Personal and stolen items were located by officers during the search.
