Details of the Home Invasions
Early Thursday morning, two men broke into a residence in the Southlands neighborhood of St. John’s. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during this incident.

- Ann Harvey Place
- Sir Wilfred Grenfell Street
- Cape Norman Street
- Orlando Place
- Henry Larsen Street
Law enforcement located three suspects within a home in Kenmount Terrace, taking them into custody without incident. The shelter-in-place order was officially lifted around 6:15 p.m. NT the same day.
Charges and Investigation
One man in custody is facing seven charges, including:
- Break and enter
- Assault with a weapon
- Robbery with violence
The second man faces four charges, which include:
- Break and enter
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose

Authorities indicated that both women will also face charges related to burglary and violent robbery. The RNC believes the home invasions were targeted, assuring the public that there is no ongoing threat to safety.
