Tracks from an unseasonably-late snowfall may prove to be the undoing for three people who face charges following a break, enter and theft at a Prince George business.
At about 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, Prince George RCMP received a report that merchandise totalling about $10,000 was stolen from a fitness studio in the 700 block of Central Street East.
Items that went missing included supplements, clothing, tanning supplies, food and equipment, police said.
"Some of the stolen items were located outside near the business; investigators followed the tracks left behind in the snow and located three suspects nearby with many of the stolen items," Cst. Jennifer Cooper said.
Ryan Ronnin Felix, Shannon Lee Haskell and Kateri Haskel have each been charged with a count of possessing stolen property over $5,000. Felix faces an additional count of breaking and entering to commit an offence.
Felix remained in custody as of Tuesday while the other two were released on undertakings. All three are known to police, RCMP said.
