Prince George RCMP are currently investigating an early-morning robbery at the Canco Gas + One Stop Convenience Store.
The suspects entered the gas station at approximately 4 a.m. on July 30 by breaking a front-facing window using a brick and climbing through the broken glass.
A worker was inside at the time.
Staff said the suspects stole approximately $400 in cash and $200 worth of cigarettes and lottery tickets.
“Police officers flooded the area and quickly located and arrested two suspects," stated Corporal Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP. "One suspect has since been released, while the other will remain in custody awaiting a bail hearing. Currently, there are still three suspects police are working to identify."
In security footage shown to The Citizen, a worker can be seen receiving minor injuries to his legs after the suspects threw a stone at him while fleeing.
As well, a manager at the location noted that two of the suspects were known to them as they had visited the store prior to the robbery.
RCMP say this investigation is still in the early stages and Investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed or who may have cell phone or dash camera footage of the robbery, or who has video surveillance from the area before or following the robbery
