RCMP searches home in Port au Port as part of injured snowmobiler investigation

As part of an ongoing investigation, the RCMP executed a search warrant at a home on Front Road in Port au Port yesterday. A number of items were seized from the property.

The search was related to an investigation into a snowmobiler who was left with serious injuries following an incident in Port au Port on February 21.

The operator of the snowmobile fell from the machine after it came to a stop and sustained serious injuries that do not appear to be consistent with the fall from the snowmobile.

The cause of the injury sustained remains under investigation by the RCMP.

Police are continuing to ask for the public’s assistance, looking to speak with anyone who travelled along the isthmus, an area commonly known as the gravels, in Port au Port between the hours of 3:57 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. on Friday, February 21.

Motorists are asked to check for possible dashcam surveillance during that time and to provide the surveillance footage to police.

Anyone having information about the incident is asked to contact RCMP by calling Bay St. George RCMP at 709-643-2118.
