Prince George RCMP have arrested the man who was a suspect in a vehicle theft which took place near UNBC.
Police officers are no longer requesting that the public stay off of the UNBC Greenway and Forests for the World trails while police conduct their search.
“The suspect we are looking for is wearing shorts and was last seen without a shirt on. He will likely look dishevelled and have scratches on his face. We are asking the public not to approach the suspect as he may have a firearm in his possession, but instead to call 9-1-1 if anyone sees a person matching this description in the area where police are currently searching,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP, earlier this afternoon.
Investigators have reached out to UNBC administration to ensure the safety of the students and staff while the search was ongoing.
A police service dog team and the RCMP helicopter, Air 3, are aided in the investigation.
