(ST. JOHN’S, NL), June 29, 2020 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) are investigating an arson at a residence in Mount Pearl.
On Monday, June 29, 2020, at approximately 12:30 am, members of RNC patrol services division responded to a report of a fire at a residence on Laumann Place in Mount Pearl. When officers arrived at the scene, they observed exterior damage on the front of the home. This particular residence has been subject to three such fires in the past week, which are not believed to be random incidents.

The suspect reportedly fled the area, entering a gold sedan, which appeared to be full of occupants as it left the area. The investigation remains ongoing.
