Police are looking for a female suspect after reports came in around 6pm Wednesday evening of a woman with a handgun on Massey Drive near Carrie Jane Park…

“Police officers immediately attended the area and began to search for the woman. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the public, those people in Carrie Jane Grey Park and the surrounding public venues were asked to leave the area and traffic along Massey Drive was shut down for a short time. A police dog service team was called in to assist frontline police officers with the search,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Police located and seized the replica firearm shortly after the initial report was made.

Investigators are still looking to speak with the suspect, who is described as:

• Approximately 5’6” in height
• Wearing blue jeans and a black hoody
• Long, died blonde hair

Police are also looking to speak with anyone who may have surveillance or dash camera footage of the suspect, or who may know who she is. If you have information regarding this investigation, please call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300 to speak with a police officer.
