Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP, said police are now turning to the public for assistance in locating the quad.

“Since the original theft, police have encountered a similar off-road vehicle twice being used in the commission of other crimes. Each time, the driver has fled from police at high rates of speed,” Cooper said in a statement. “We are asking the public to be on the lookout for a similar vehicle and to report sightings to police using our non-emergency line.”

The quad has been spotted in several areas of the city since it was first stolen. Reported sightings include locations between Fifteenth Avenue and Garvin Street, extending to Fifth Avenue and Tabor Boulevard. Additional sightings have also been reported around the Ferry Avenue and Westwood Drive area.

Police are urging anyone who may see the vehicle to contact authorities, but they caution the public not to approach the driver or attempt to intervene.

Investigators say that when reporting a sighting, it is important to provide as much detail as possible. This includes noting the exact time and location of the sighting, the last known direction of travel, and any description of the driver.

RCMP have also released a CCTV image related to the investigation. The image reportedly shows one of the suspects driving the quad. In the photo, the individual can be seen wearing dark pants, a blue jacket, and a backpack.

The investigation remains ongoing, and police continue to work to identify the suspects involved and recover the stolen vehicle.

Anyone with information about the quad or its whereabouts is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP through their non-emergency line.

Authorities say public vigilance can play a key role in helping to locate the stolen vehicle and prevent further incidents tied to its use.
