Just before 11 p.m. on April 23, Campbell River RCMP members responded to a report of a robbery that had occurred at the Walmart on the Island Highway.
A single male had been confronted about shoplifting by the store’s loss prevention officer and, in turn, threatened the loss prevention officer with a knife and took off with the goods.
Police service dog Gator was called into action and the male, who was known to police, was located a short distance away and taken into custody without further incident.
