An investigation has been launched after Prince George RCMP discovered an explosive device in a seemingly abandoned car.
Just before 7:00 Monday morning, police received a report of a single vehicle crash on the 4600 block of First Avenue.
When they arrived, they discovered the vehicle had crashed in to a fence, but the occupants were nowhere to be found.
Officers attempted to contact the vehicle’s registered owner, but were unable to reach them, and called for a tow.
While unloading the vehicle at the tow yard, a suspicious device was located inside the car.
Police secured the area and contacted the Explosive Disposal Unit, who were able to disable the device after traveling from the Lower Mainland.
Police are now seeking witnesses or anyone with dash cam or surveillance footage of the area between 6:00 and 7:00 Monday morning.
Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact Prince George RCMP at 250 561 3300.
