Prince George, B.C.- A 47 year old man from the southern interior is in court in Prince George today accused of being the person behind two armed robberies from last night.
Around 7:30 last night, a lone male robbed the Shooters Liquor Store in the 1600 block of Victoria Street. The suspect claimed to have a firearm, but none was seen by the clerk. The suspect escaped with a small amount of cigarettes.
At about 10:00 PM, the First Litre Cold Beer and Wine Store located in the 1700 block of Strathcona Avenue was robbed of cigarettes and liquor. A short time later, Prince George RCMP members located and arrested a suspect without incident.
Prince George RCMP are recommending charges of Robbery with a Firearm (x2), Uttering Threats and Public Mischief. The investigation continues.
