Prince George RCMP is currently investigating a robbery that took place on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, just after 1:30 p.m.

Earlier in the afternoon, Prince George RCMP frontline police officers located a stolen vehicle near the 2100-block of Norwood Street, which subsequently fled from police. Police officers did not pursue the vehicle but instead conducted patrols around the area.

Around 1:40 p.m., Prince George RCMP received a report of a man wearing a face mask, who arrived at a gas station located at the 8000-block of the Hart Highway in a vehicle matching the description of the previously stolen vehicle. The man approached a female victim and assaulted her with a weapon in attempt to steal her vehicle. The suspect got into the victim’s vehicle and drove away.

“Frontline officers responded quickly, located the vehicle and arrested the suspect. Fortunately, the victim was not seriously injured. The suspect will remain in custody until his next court appearance,” states Constable Jenna Moore, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Scott William Jacob Teece. The following charges have been approved in this matter:

• Theft of a motor vehicle (two counts)
• Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000
• Flight from police
• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle
• Robbery (two counts)
• Assault with a weapon
• Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose

Investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed these events or who may have cell phone video or dash camera footage of the robbery or who has video surveillance from around the 8000-block of the Hart Highway.

This file is now before the courts.
