On September 15, 2025, just a few minutes past midnight, Prince George RCMP was advised that a convenience store on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Ospika Boulevard had just been robbed by a single suspect.

“Frontline police officers flooded the area and located the suspect several blocks away. Police officers were provided with screenshots of the available video surveillance from the store within minutes of the offence occurring, which greatly increased their ability to locate and arrest the suspect,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

The suspect has been identified as 23-year-old, Prince George resident, Haley Elizabeth Lindstrom.

The following charges have been approved in this matter:

• Robbery
• Uttering threats
• Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose

Ms. Lindstrom was held in custody until she could attend court.

As this file is now before the courts there will be no further updates.
