PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP arrested three suspects they allege robbed a gas station in Beaverly Monday night.

Prince George RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says the theft occurred at a gas station on the 11400-block of Carmel Drive just after 8:30 p.m.

She says the lone gas station attendant reported that two people came into the store, demanded money and cigarettes, and then left in a waiting red pickup truck.

“Police officers attended the location and observed the pickup truck driving eastbound down Peden Hill. The vehicle failed to stop for police and took off at a high rate of speed. Investigators subsequently located the vehicle at the intersection of Highway 97 North and Tenth Avenue, where it had been involved in a collision with another vehicle.”

Cooper says the suspects fled in separate directions but were arrested quickly by RCMP officers. They have since been released on undertakings with future court dates.

“This is another example of the great police work being done in Prince George, to have all suspects arrested within 25 minutes of the report being made, despite them fleeing from police and traveling halfway across the City,” states Cooper.

She adds the pickup truck was determined to have been stolen from Fort St.James earlier that day. The driver and passenger of the other vehicle involved in the collision were taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries. No further injuries were reported.
