News release

Victims’ quick reporting key to investigation moving forward

June 26, 2026 - City of Prince George, British Columbia

From: Prince George RCMP

File #2026-20161

Mounties in Prince George are praising the quick thinking of two youth last week, as their actions have proved pivotal in the progress of an investigation into an indecent act.

On Friday, June 19, 2026, just before 2:00 p.m., Prince George RCMP received a report of an incident that involved two youth and a third party. The youth, who were unharmed but shaken up, immediately called 911 to report the incident; the youth then provided police officers with a very detailed description of

the suspect and his last known direction of travel. With these details, combined with the quick call to 911, police officers located a suspect just a short distance from where the incident occurred, where he was placed under arrest.

“Investigators are highlighting this incident as it is a great example of how quick, detailed reporting can influence the direction of a police investigation. While we understand there will be instances when immediate reporting is not an option for victims or witnesses, the closer to an event occurring that it is reported, can impact the chances of a suspect being caught or of preserving evidence,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

The suspect in this matter was later released on an undertaking with conditions. The victims are working closely with the Prince George RCMP Victim Services Unit.

The RCMP found over 2000 dead crows on Alberta hwys recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the ...bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars.

The RCMP then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "bike"

ANSWER ON PG 20

When Was Canada Established?

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)

You could get frustrated with situations that seem to be taking longer to sort out than you anticipated or because of unforeseen circumstances coming up that slow things down. There are ways you can work around matters but that will require some patience which likely includes finding out more information, especially if money is involved.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

It is more a period to contemplate matters now and to have time to yourself. You could think about commitments you are prepared to take on in the future. Tension could arise in situations involving you with others, either on a personal level or where a team or group of people are involved. Try to let this slide as much as possible

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

There is something to look forward to in the future, which for some might includetravel. Youwillnotbe ableto bypass obligations that need to be dealt with on a regular basis. Someone else my not be that happy with your plans or where you want to head in the long term. Much depends on how dramatically you wanttochangethings

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

Luck with finances is a possibility but also is the tendency to spend more than you should because of feeling optimistic. You need to be mindful of important priorities in your life and the finances required to fund them, particularly up to mid August. Developing personal independence does not necessarily free you from financial obligation.

VIRGO

(August 23-Sept.22)

It could become apparent that somebody else wants to do things their way in the future. You may feel they are not being realistic but you need to let them find this out for themselves. Your focus needs to be on your own priorities, which includes not taking on responsibilities that others need to be accepting as part of their own progress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

It won’t hurt to take a break from normal routines and simply enjoy yourself, even if this does include some sort of overindulgence. This is not something you can afford to get into the habit of doing but you are likely to be well aware of this and you have the influences affecting you personally that can get you back to having personal control.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

It will be easy to be far too generous of yourself, so think carefully before you accept any increased obligations. There can be a hidden agenda when it comes to any expectations others either have or request of you. In the back of your mind you need to be determined to maintain your freedom of thought or decision making

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

Don’t be made to feel guilty if someone expects you to be more generous than you feel is necessary. It is not your place to make things easier for them, which couldenduprestrictingwhatcouldbe your own enjoyment. It is also possible that you realise it is a practical reality right now to tone down certain pleasures to maintain financialstability.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Youwillbedeterminedtodothingsin your own individual way, which can include expressing exactly what you think, though be a bit careful if this could have some effect financially. There can be much to enjoy, which might also be due to some sort of surprise. Don’t be tempted though to spend more than youcanreallyafford

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Your responsibilities could increase in very likely a good way, especially if this is connected to a work or a business situation. Any plans or discussions that come up now may not be fully completed until early August, so leave so room for adjustment. Don’t be afraid to ask for more details if something is not made clear at the start.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan.19)

Any interaction with others can be most pleasant and perhaps arise without a great deal of previous planning. Any discussions that come up with others, which might include family, related to practical ways of putting things in place should be treated as initial discussion. It could take until early August to get matters fullysorted.

ARIES

(March 21-April 20)

Beingcomfortableandabletoenjoy yourselfathomeorwithfamilywill seemmoreimportantthananything else. Thiswilltakesomeproper planning,whichmightalsoinclude beingpreparedtotakepersonal responsibilityforkeepingmatters wellorganised. Youmightworry aboutsomefreedomsgoingbythe wayside. That’slife.
