“As part of the investigation, Tk’emlúps Rural frontline police spotted the suspect vehicle travelling east on East Trans Canada Highway, and headed towards Barnhartvale,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dana Napier said, noting the truck suffered damage to its rear end.

Napier said the two suspects and their vehicle have yet to be located, but she confirmed that police have a third person – who went into the business after the break-in – in custody. That person “did not appear to be associated with the break-in,” Napier added.

She also confirmed to CFJC Today that the person who was arrested was taken to hospital for treatment of their injuries, after a pool of blood was observed at the scene.

“No staff was onsite at time and are all safe,” a statement from Pogue Mahone said, noting business will resume on Wednesday.
