Robbery at a BC liquor store

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Sep, 2024 10:09 AM
  • Robbery at a BC liquor store

Prince George R-C-M-P say a man has been taken into custody after robbing a liquor store. 

R-C-M-P say officers received two reports about a man who seemed to be carrying a firearm showed up on Weisbrod Road close to the Hart Highway and the second report came in suggesting the man robbed a nearby liquor store. 

The man ran into a local convenience store as officers responded to the scene, and an officer who was equipped with a conducted energy weapon stopped the suspect from running away. 

Mounties say he will remain in custody until he can go to court.
