Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Jul, 2023 12:21 PM
  • Busy Canada Day weekend for Prince George RCMP

R-C-M-P in Prince George say the Canada Day long weekend was especially busy for them.

A statement from the detachment says officers were called to everything from robberies and attempted robberies to the torching of a vehicle -- possibly by a suspect already wanted on two other warrants.

In all, Mounties say they answered 374 calls around Prince George between July 1st and July 3rd.

That's up from the 350 calls they received in the same period last year.
