The RNC is investigating an alleged assault that happened mid-day yesterday in downtown St. John’s. Officers responded to the call of an assault with a weapon, just after 11 am and a 54-year-old woman was arrested as a result.
She is in custody awaiting her court appearance. The victim suffered what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

A hit and run collision in west-end St. John’s yesterday morning just after 11, has led to the arrest of a 47-year-old man. After a brief investigation, the RNC located the driver, who now faces charges of impaired, refusal, and resisting arrest. He was also ticketed for failing to stop at the scene of an accident. Police impounded his vehicle and he now has a future court date.

And the suspect in a short shop-lifting spree is now in custody. The RNC got a call yesterday around 5 pm about theft from a business in St. John’s. The alleged thief was gone by the time police arrived but a second call from another business in the same area of the east end led officers to identify and find the 34-year-old suspect. He has been charged with two counts of theft under $5000, breach of court orders and probation.
