Four people were arrested after shots were fired during what police are calling a home invasion robbery in Prince George early Friday, Aug. 9.
Police were called to a Lalonde Road home at about 12:30 a.m.
A suspect vehicle was spotted on 15th Avenue and, after failing to stop for police, crashed near the intersection of 15th Avenue and Alward Street. One suspect was arrested while three others fled on foot.
Police found a second suspect hiding under a vehicle, while the other two were tracked by a police dog and found near the University Hospital of Northern B.C. All three were taken into custody. One male was treated at the hospital and released for incarceration. The vehicle was seized.
A firearm found near 15th Avenue and Foothills Boulevard is believed to have been involved in the incident. The investigation was ongoing at several locations Friday.
All four suspects, ages 21, 22, 23 and 49, remain in custody. Police say they are involved with organized crime and are not from Prince George. It's believed that the home was targeted, but no motive has been determined.
The home's resident was not physically injured.
Police are asking for anyone with dash camera or security system footage showing Lalonde Road, 15th Avenue, Ospika Boulvard and University Way from midnight to 1:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 9, or anyone with any other information, to contact investigators at 250-561-3300.
