“I got woken up this morning to the police wanting everybody to come out of the house,” Wendy Bonazew, who lives in the building, told Global News Wednesday afternoon.
“It turns out that somebody that had just robbed a gas station in 150 Mile decided to stop at my house. I had no idea. And then the police called us all out and it took this long for the young man to finally come out.”
RCMP said there were no reports of injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Williams Lake RCMP at 250 392-6211.
