Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of a 26-year-old man from St. John’s following a home invasion and weapons offence in the capital city’s west end.

The RNC says officers responded to a reported break and enter at a home in the west end just after 10 p.m. Tuesday night, and found a woman who has sustained injuries in the incident. They also located a weapon that they believe was used in the assault.

Police say the two people are known to each other.

Following an investigation, a warrant was issued for the arrest of the 26-year-old for break and enter, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and breach of a court order.

Details are currently limited, but anyone with information is asked to contact the RNC at 729-8000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
