The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is seeking the public’s help in locating a woman wanted for her role in a home invasion in Paradise.
Twenty-four-year-old Brandon Chafe and 25-year-old Dawson Reid-Shute forced entry into a Southlands area home in the early morning hours yesterday (Feb. 26). There were no injuries.
Then, joined by two women, 25-year-old Victoria Miller, and 20-year-old Morgan Voisey-Hann, the group forced entry into a Paradise home shortly before 5 a.m. today.
A shelter-in-place was issued late this afternoon after the three accused were located at a home in Kenmount Terrace. With the help of the Tactics and Rescue Unit, Chafe, Reid-Shute and Voisey-Hann, were taken into custody without incident. The shelter-in-place has since been lifted. The search is ongoing for Miller.
Reid-Shute has been charged with:
· Break and enter
