RNC RECOVERS $150,000 WORTH OF BELIEVED STOLEN PROPERTY

(Nov 10th)

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has recovered an estimated $150,000 worth of property believed to be stolen following an investigation in St. John’s.

On July 8, search warrants were executed at two St. John’s properties as part of an investigation led by the RNC Weapons and Drug Enforcement Unit.

Based on observations made at one of the properties, officers sought and obtained an additional search warrant, which was executed by the General Investigation Unit the following day.

During the search, officers seized hundreds of items, including tools, electronics and construction equipment. Investigators believe the property may have been provided in exchange for drugs.

The RNC is asking anyone who has experienced a theft that has not previously been reported and can provide a serial number or distinct identifying markings for their property to contact the General Investigation Unit at GIU@rnc.gov.nl.ca

Anyone contacting police is asked to reference RNC file number 2026-44097.

Anyone with information regarding suspicious activity is asked to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000.
