A woman has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Churchill Square.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary were first called to the jewelry store just before 5 p.m. on January 30th.

They say a suspect entered the store with a weapon, demanded jewelry, and fled the scene before police arrived.

Forty-year-old Romaine Keefe was arrested Sunday night in Mount Pearl in connection to the incident and is facing a raft of charges. Most of the charges are firearm-related, and there is also a single charge of disguise with intent.

The accused has also been charged with theft and breaches on an unrelated matter.
