The RNC is requesting the assistance of the general public in identifying the person responsible for an armed robbery at Walsh’s Convenience on St. Clare Avenue in St. John’s Sunday morning.
About 11:30 a.m. Sunday, RNC officers from patrol services, K9 and criminal investigation division responded the business.
The male suspect had entered the store and demanded cash before fleeing the scene. There were no injuries sustained during the incident.
