Mounties are looking for two people believed to be responsible for a robbery at a major retail chain on Southridge Avenue in Prince George last month.
The incident happened just after 8 PM on February 3rd. Police allege that a man, accompanied by a female, tried to steal a remote-controlled car. Staff confronted him and asked for a receipt but instead of doing so, the suspect reportedly pulled out a canister of bear mace and sprayed. An employee was hit once and the two suspects fled.
It’s believed they got into the rear seats of a newer model grey Chrysler 300 or Sebring and took off. The remote-controlled car is valued at approximately $100.
Police describe the male as:
· Caucasian
· 20 to 25 years old
· Athletic build
· 173 cm (5’8″)
· Clean shaven
· Wearing a black hoodie with white lettering and black pants with white lettering.
Police describe the female as:
· First Nations
· 170 cm (5’7″)
· 45 kg (100 lbs)
· Wearing a black coat, black hoody and carrying a large tan or brown purse
