On Monday afternoon the RNC were called to the downtown area of St. John’s for a complaint of a theft from a business.

Officers learned that a 28-year-old female had entered the store and stole several cans of beer from the merchant before leaving without paying.

A short time later, the woman was located and was arrested without incident. She faces charges of theft under $5000 and breaching a release order. It was also determined that the woman was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failing to attend court.

The accused was held to appear in court this morning.
