Prince George RCMP investigators are probing a series of break-and-enters that have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in losses for residents and businesses in the area.
Police say the first incident occurred on Friday, April 25, 2025, at a residence in the 11000 block of Pinko Road. Residents reported an early morning break-in that led to the theft of multiple firearms, ammunition and a silver Kawasaki UTV.
The remaining incidents took place on Monday, April 28.
Shortly before 2 a.m., a commercial yard in the 9800-block of Milwaukee Way was broken into. Several tool kits and a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab with a white fiberglass cap were stolen from the site.
A second break-in occurred at a sea-can located at a job site in the 1100-block of Foothills Boulevard. Company representatives estimated that nearly $80,000 worth of laser mapping equipment, tools and rebar cutting gear was stolen.
The third break-in of the day happened shortly after 6 a.m. at a property in the 7800 block of Cummings Road. Security personnel reported that someone used a torch to cut through a fence before stealing a reel of copper.
A short time later, the stolen UTV was found abandoned on a nearby property, with the copper still attached. The UTV was confirmed to be the same one taken during the April 25 break-in and was seized as part of the ongoing investigation.
“Investigators are looking for anyone with information on who might have committed these break-and-enters and where any of the items are now,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for Prince George RCMP.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300, or to report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
