(Labrador City, NL) April 27, 2026 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has charged a Quebec man with harassing staff at a Labrador City business.

When officers responded to the area Friday morning (April 24), the accused blocked the RNC patrol unit in using his own vehicle before eventually fleeing the scene.

Store staff described repeated actions by the accused over a few weeks that made them uncomfortable. He also refused to leave when asked to by staff.

The 42-year-old was located nearby and held for court on charges of criminal harassment and obstructing a peace officer.

The RNC encourages anyone who witnesses suspicious activity to report it directly to police by calling their local detachment. Crimes in progress should be reported by contacting 911. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit www.nlcrimestoppers.com
