RNC Appealing for Information on Mount Pearl Robbery

The RNC is looking for information from the public as it investigates a robbery that occurred on a walking trail in Mount Pearl last Friday.

Just after 9:30 a.m. last week, the RNC responded to a robbery in the Carroll Drive area of Mount Pearl. A female reported that she was approached by a male on the Admiralty Walking Trail, where he presented a weapon and attempted to take her belongings before fleeing the area in the direction of Richard Nolan Drive. It is believed the pair were unknown to one another.

The male suspect is described as a thin, tall, Caucasian man who was wearing a black hoodie and black pants.

The Major Crime Unit continues to investigate and will be canvassing Mount Pearl today in the area bordered by Smallwood Drive, Commonwealth Avenue, and Old Placentia Road, seeking video footage and information. The RNC is encouraging anyone who has video footage between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on June 26 to review the footage for a male matching the above description and to contact police by calling 709-729-8000.
