Quick action by RCMP in Prince Rupert was able to foil a robbery mid-attempt.
Late Friday night, police responded to an alarm at the old Raffles Inn on 3rd Avenue West.
When they arrived, they interrupted a man inside, who had been carrying a stack of copper pipes and ran immediately upon noticing the officers.
A short chase ended on 1st Avenue, where the man finally surrendered, and he was taken in to custody.
Police found illegal drugs and a prohibited weapon on the man after taking him in.
