(St. John’s, NL) November 10, 2026 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has recovered an estimated $150,000 worth of what is believed to be stolen property.

As part of an investigation by the Weapons and Drug Enforcement Unit search warrants were executed at two St. John’s properties on July 8. Based on their observations at one of the properties, a further warrant was sought, granted, and executed by the General Investigation Unit the following day where officers seized hundreds of tools, electronics and even construction equipment that they believe was potentially being provided in exchange for drugs.

The RNC is asking anyone with a previously unreported theft who is able to provide a serial number or distinct identifying markings to contact the General Investigation Unit at GIU@rnc.gov.nl.ca and reference RNC file number 2026-44097.

Anyone with information regarding suspicious activity is asked to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000.
