(St. John’s, NL), August 30, 2021 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) General Investigation Unit (GIU) are investigating an armed robbery which occurred in Logy Bay – Middle Cove – Outer Cove (LBMCOC).

On Sunday, July 25, 2021, shortly after 11:00 pm, officers with the RNC Operational Patrol Services (OPS) responded to a convenience store on Logy Bay Road in LBMCOC in relation to a report of a robbery which had just occurred. A lone suspect had entered the business and approached the cashier presenting a weapon, demanding cash. After the suspect was not successful in obtaining cash, they exited the store and left the area in what was described as a maroon or red coloured SUV.
