The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) Criminal Investigation Division is asking for the public’s help identifying two men responsible for a robbery with violence at a St. John’s apartment complex.
On Thursday, March 29, shortly after 6:30 p.m., officers with operational patrol services and forensic identification responded to a robbery at Hillview Terrace apartments on MacDonald Drive in St. John’s. According to the news release, a woman reported two men followed her to the apartment building and use force to grab a significant amount of cash from her jacket pocket. The woman was not injured as a result of the incident, and the two men ran away before police arrived.
Photos of the two suspects were released Tuesday.
The two men believed to be responsible are said to be between 18 and 25 years of age. One man is about six feet tall, slim build, with a dark beard and was wearing a plaid jacket. The other man was shorter with a heavier build and was also wearing a plaid jacket.
