A rapid police response to a report of a break-and-enter enabled the arrest of the suspect on Monday morning.

On Monday, December 20, 2021, shortly after 1:30 a.m., the Prince George RCMP responded to a report of a break-and-enter to a business on the 1500 block of 20 Avenue. Police located a man matching the description just a few blocks from the break-and-enter. The suspect, who is known to police, was identified as 36-year-old, Prince George resident Edward Brookfield. Mr. Brookfield will remain in custody until his next court appearance.

This is a great example of the hard work our officers to do keep our community safe, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media spokesperson for the Prince George RCMP.
