Mounties in northern British Columbia are searching for a pair of suspects after several guns were stolen during an armed robbery at a gas station last week.
Investigators say the robbery occurred just before 7 a.m. on Feb. 2, when two suspects entered a gas station on John Hart Highway near Chief Lake Road in Prince George and threatened an employee at gunpoint.
The masked suspects smashed a gun case inside the store and stole several of the guns displayed inside, according to police.
The suspects left the store and got into a blue pickup truck, where a third suspect was waiting.
Investigators identified the truck as one that was stolen earlier that morning from a nearby residence, according to police. The truck was found a short time later and was seized as part of the robbery investigation.
While patrolling for the suspects, police located a man at a bus stop who matched the description of one of the men involved in the robbery, according to police.
The man was arrested and found to be in possession of a shotgun, the Prince George RCMP said in a news release Wednesday.
