PRINCE GEORGE, BC: A known man to police has been arrested following a weapons complaint earlier this afternoon…
Police say on February 2, 2023, just before 2:30 PM, officers received a report of a man walking on Range Road near Wiebe Road who had a long knife in his hand.
A witness stated he heard the man uttering threats to harm two people. Police officers immediately flooded the area as the suspect was close to an elementary school and it was near the end of the school day.
