Police arrested a suspect in a bizarre and random highway shooting spree.
RCMP were searching for a vehicle after shots were fired at several commercial semi-trucks driving along Highway 97 on Friday night.
Police said they received reports of someone in a vehicle shooting at radiators and windows of semi-tractor trailers on the highway near the communities of Houston, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Cluculz Lake, Prince George, Quesnel and 100 Mile House on Friday night. There were no reports of injuries.
A large police presence on Chilliwack Lake Road near Lindeman Lake on Saturday afternoon is believed to be connected to the incident. Several witnesses said they heard gunshots before an arrest was made. An air ambulance was also seen leaving the area.
Police said a suspect is in custody and the public is no longer at risk.
