A 51-year-old woman is facing charges after allegedly threatening staff at a local dollar store with a knife.
Theresa Joseph is facing charges of robbery, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon, uttering threats and obstructing a police officer in relation to the incident on Wednesday.
At 3:30 p.m., police were called to London Drugs where Joseph was allegedly committing a theft after having allegedly threatened staff at the Dollar Tree store next door.
“Members approached the female and identified her from previous interactions as 51-year-old Theresa Joseph,” Prince George RCMP spokesperson Cst.
