The RNC has arrested a 35-year-old St. John’s man in connection with a series of commercial break-ins during the Christmas period.

Ryan King is believed to be responsible for ten incidents between December 24th and January 6th, as well as two other incidents earlier in 2023.

Last Saturday, RNC officers responded to a crash involving a stolen vehicle, allegedly driven by King. The accused was arrested at the scene.

The RNC General Investigation Unit made an arrest this week following a string of recent break-ins at businesses on the Northeast Avalon.
