Prince George, B.C. – RCMP in Prince George are advising store staff to be cautious about leaving their cash registers unattended even for a moment.There have been two instances in the last week in which staff were distracted from the till area, only to have a thief make off with the money or the cash register.
In the most recent case, staff heard the store door open at their Southgate area business, and when they emerged from the back of the store, a suspect had already grabbed the register and was heading out the door. The suspect is described as 40 years of age, and at the time of the theft was wearing a green shirt, blue jeans, a dark baseball cap and sunglasses.
A week earlier, a suspect told staff at a business on Recreation Place that the outside washroom was overflowing. The attendant went to check the problem, at which time the suspect went behind the counter an removed cash from the register. ( photo at right of suspect, courtesy RCMP)

No bottom teeth? Sounds like he’s been caught once or twice…
“No bottom teeth? The game is afoot,Watson. Contact every dentist in town to see who hasn’t got bottom teeth. Elementary my dear Watson. His tooth extraction wasn’t a do-it-yourself at home or a no fixed address location. We will have this case solved very shortly”.
