ST. JOHN’S – Newfoundland police are asking the public for help in the case of a 28-year-old man charged with allegedly kidnapping his intimate partner. 

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says officers were called about a woman in distress at a business on Thorburn Road in St. John’s on Monday morning.

They say responding officers believed the woman was taken against her will from a home in nearby Mount Pearl.

Her partner has been charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement, several counts of assault, uttering threats and other charges.

Police say they’re trying to track the movements of a white 2019 Subaru Impreza hatchback with a distinctive — and damaged — black front bumper between midnight and 1p.m. Monday.

They are also looking to speak to people who were at the Thorburn Road Tim Hortons on Monday around 9:30 a.m.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 5, 2026.
