Home invasion arrest warrant out for Elliott Ryan Joseph

Police have released the photo of a suspect in last week's home invasion who remains at large.

Elliott Ryan Joseph, 30, is described as a First Nations man with black hair and brown eyes, 175 cm (5’9”) tall and weighing 68 kg (150 lbs).
Joseph is a resident of Prince George, however he is originally from the Fort St. James area.

Three other people have been arrested in connection with the Feb. 2 incident: Crystal Dawn Schielke, 22; Michael Campbell-Alexander, 18; and a female youth whose name cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

All four face 16 charges each: robbery; robbery with intent to steal a firearm; break and enter; break and enter with intent to steal a firearm; forcible confinement; using an imitation firearm while committing an Indictable offence; wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence; uttering threats; assault with a weapon; assault causing bodily harm; knowing possession of a stolen firearm; possession of a firearm without a licence; knowingly possessing a firearm without a licence; theft of a motor vehicle; theft over $5,000; and theft under $5,000.

Campbell-Alexander, Joseph and the youth are also facing a charge of unlawfully occupying a vehicle knowing there was a firearm in it. And Campbell-Alexander faces six more firearms charges from his arrest on Saturday.

Joseph has an extensive criminal record. Neither Schielke nor Campbell-Alexander have been previously convicted of a criminal offence.

Police now believe four to five people were involved in the Feb. 2 incident that saw the home's occupant fend off the attackers, injuring two in the process. As many as six were originally suspected to have taken part.

Police said a number of items were stolen from the home, including a rifle and a grey 2010 Ford F-150 that was found later the same day near Norwood Avenue and Oak Street in the VLA.

Anyone with information about Joseph's location is asked to call the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca, or Text-A-Tip to CRIMES using keyword “pgtips.”
