RCMP Release New Details of Van and Suspects in Friday Shooting

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. – The search continues for a white van, believed to be connected to a shooting  at a  West Lake   area property on Friday.

RCMP received a call of a robbery at 1:43pm on Friday and information was received that shots had been fired.

While en route to the property, RCMP officers located an adult male with a non-life threatening gun shot wound.  The male was transported to the University Hospital of Northern BC by the BC Ambulance Service.

Although Prince George RCMP set up  a number of road blocks in the area,  they were unable to locate the  suspect vehicle.  At the time, the only description police had was that it was a 1990’s white van with no windows in the back  and that it had Alberta license plates.

A further description  now  details that  this was a full sized van, white, with Alberta plates, with no  windows on the side, but that it DID have windows  on the rear doors. The  doors on the side of the van open out,  not sliding and the rear passenger  side bumper was slightly pulled out.  The van was dirty.

The  information also includes  descriptions of the   two  suspects in the van.  The driver had a shaved head with brown stubble, the passenger had slightly longer brown hair, both appeared to be Caucasian  in their late 20’s and both appeared to be lean.

If you see a vehicle matching this description, please call 9-1-1 immediately.  Do not approach the occupants, as they should be considered armed and dangerous.

If you have any information about this serious criminal offence, the suspect vehicle or the suspects, please contact the Prince George RCMP at (250)561-3300 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-TIPS (8477).
