Suspicious Activities Connected to Legitimate Security Business
PRINCE GEORGE – RCMP are warning residents to be cautious and on the lookout after five suspicious incidents have occurred recently in Prince George. All five incidents involved people knocking on doors, posing as an employee of a security alarm company and wanting to enter the home.
Last Monday evening, police received a report about a man posing as a GE alarm system employee on North Ogilvie Street.

The suspect is described as a man, who’s about 20 years old, 5 foot 10 inches, heavy build and wearing a white GE uniform shirt.
Last Wednesday evening, police received a similar report about a man asking questions about the alarm system at a home on Chartwell Crescent in the Westgate area. The homeowner refused to let the man in. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, 6 foot one inches, average build, light coloured hair, wearing a blue GE work shirt and drove a white Ford F150 with Alberta licence plates.
Last Thursday night, police received another report about a man asking a homeowner questions about their alarm system on Chartwell Crescent. The homeowner refused to allow the man inside and the suspect left. The man is described as wearing a dark coloured short sleeve GE shirt, dark coloured shorts and drove what is possibly a black four-door Chevrolet Cruze.
