One male is in police custody while another male is still outstanding after a botched robbery at a local store in Dawson Creek, BC.
On February 20th, 2013, Dawson Creek RCMP and the RCMP Police Dog Service responded to a robbery in progress at a local jewellery store in Dawson Creek.
Two persons wearing red bandannas over their faces entered the store and jumped over the counter. One suspect knocked over a female employee who then held on to the male suspect with the help of another store employee.
