A man has been charged following an investigation into a series of gas and dash incidents at a service station in the west end of St. John’s.

Employees phoned the RNC around 9:30 last night saying the man had filled up his vehicle on three separate occasions in the past and failed to pay.

He was arrested at the store.

The 35-year-old, who initially provided a fake name to police, also had a warrant out for his arrest.

He faces three charges of theft and breach of release order, as well as a single charge of public mischief.
