PRINCE GEORGE — One man was arrested early Sunday morning following an alleged break-and-enter.

Prince George RCMP say it all started shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, February 18, when a homeowner on the 5100-block of North Nechako Road told police that a rock had been thrown through a window of their home and that they could hear a man talking outside.

Police say while police officers were responding, a second report came in from the 3200-block of Riverview Road of an unknown man walking into a person’s home and leaving after asking the home owner to call 9-1-1.

Another call was received a short time later from a resident on the 3300-block of Rosia Road after they heard someone attempt to gain entry through their front door.

RCMP eventually caught up with the suspect at around 5:30 a.m. at a home on the 3500-block of Rosia Road, where he was sleeping on a couch at that home.
