(St. John’s, NL), November 22, 2018 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is warning parents of a large-scale party being planned in the east end of St. John’s for tomorrow night.

The RNC has learned that there are plans underway for a large-scale party Friday night, being referred to as “Project X” on social media. So far, investigators have learned that the party plans include hosting persons from the age of 14 to mid-twenties and will involve alcohol, cannabis, illicit drugs and other dangerous and criminal activities.

The RNC is urging parents to talk to their teens to be aware of their activities and know what their teen’s social plans are, for their safety, when out.  We are also reminding the public that it is illegal to sell, serve, or otherwise provide alcohol or Cannabis to any person under the age of 19. Additionally, there is a zero tolerance for alcohol or Cannabis for any driver under the age of 22.

The RNC’s Criminal Investigation Division is continuing to investigate this matter and is asking anyone who has any information in relation to this event to call the RNC at 729-8000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
