A man suspected of committing an armed robbery at a local business on Monday night has been arrested.
Prince George RCMP are crediting a tip from the public for the apprehension of Chayne Neale Lafantaisie, 27.
He was arrested Tuesday evening after RCMP received a report of someone matching a description issued this week inside a business near the corner of 15th Avenue and Ospika Boulevard.
A replica handgun and other evidence from the robbery were found on Lafantaisie, RCMP said.
"Cooperation from the public assists police in performing our duties effectively, which in turn allows us to move investigations forward quickly and achieve positive outcomes, as was the case with this incident," Prince George RCMP Insp. Shaun Wright said in a statement.
"We appreciate the support and assistance of the public as we continue to use all available resources to seek out and arrest the small segment of society that are causing harm in our community."
Lafantaisie faces seven charges and remained in custody as of Wednesday.
