PRINCE GEORGE

Wednesday, February 7, 2024

The Prince George RCMP is asking for the public’s help in an Armed Robbery at a gas station on the Hart last Friday (Feb 2, 2024)…

Police say just after 7:00 AM on that Friday morning, two suspects entered the gas station and threatened the on-duty attendant at gunpoint, smashing a gun case and stealing several of the firearms stored within. The two suspects fled the store and got into a blue pickup truck where a third suspect was waiting. Police have identified the truck as it was stolen earlier that morning from a nearby residence. The suspect vehicle was located a short time later unoccupied and seized as part of the investigation.

While conducting patrols for the suspects, officers located a man matching the description of one of the suspects sitting at a bus stop in the area. The man was arrested and found to be in possession of a shot gun. Police officers identified him as 41-year-old Brandon Michael Felix, who at the time was bound by two different lifetime firearms prohibitions.

There are two suspects still outstanding in this investigation and police are releasing video surveillance of one of the suspects in the hopes that he can be identified. Police describe the man wearing a light-colored grey jacket with no hood, a black balaclava hiding his nose and mouth, black gloves, dark pants and a dark shirt with red and white print on the front. The third suspect was not seen on video surveillance.

If anyone can identify this suspect or has information for police officers about this investigation, they can call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300. Please quote file number 2024-3570.

Brandon Felix will remain in custody until his next court appearance.

The investigation remains ongoing.
