The Prince George RCMP have arrested a suspect in connection with a series of five break-and-enters that took place between March 2 and March 7, 2025.
The incidents occurred after businesses had closed for the night and employees had left.
Although there were no eyewitnesses, the RCMP gathered evidence from surveillance cameras at the affected businesses and nearby establishments, which helped identify a suspect.
On March 7, 2025, police located and arrested 44-year-old Allan Douglas Nigh in connection with the break-and-enters.
Nigh, a known repeat offender, was previously arrested in September 2024 for breaking into multiple businesses and vehicles in downtown Prince George. At that time, he was charged with three counts of break-and-enter with intent to commit an indictable offence and three counts of mischief under $5,000.
“These incidents were all linked, and a suspect was identified due to the high-quality video surveillance provided to our investigators. In cases where eyewitnesses are unlikely, having direct access to surveillance footage is crucial for quickly piecing together the investigation,” said Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Nigh will remain in custody until his next court appearance. The investigation is ongoing.
