On July 12, 2022, Frontline Police officers of the Prince George RCMP responded to a report of a theft in the area of 15 Avenue and Victoria Street.

Police located the suspect a short distance away and arrested the man, who was found to be in possession of a fire arm and had an outstanding arrest warrant. He was transported to Prince George Detachments cells.
