RCMP NL's Major Crime Unit (MCU) is continuing its investigation into a snowmobiler who was left with serious injuries following an incident in Port au Port on February 21, 2025. Police executed a search warrant at a home in Port au Port yesterday.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 21, 2025, Bay St. George RCMP responded to the report of an injured snowmobiler on Gravel's Pond in Port au Port. The operator of the snowmobile fell from the machine after it came to a stop and sustained serious injuries that do not appear to be consistent with the fall from the snowmobile. The cause of the injury sustained remains under investigation by the RCMP MCU.
Yesterday, February 25, 2025, as part of this investigation, a warrant to search a residential property, authorized under the Criminal Code, was obtained and executed by RCMP NL's MCU at a home on Front Road in Port au Port West. A number of items were seized from the property.
Police are continuing to ask for the public's assistance, looking to speak with anyone who travelled along the isthmus, an area commonly known as the gravels, in Port au Port between the hours of 3:57 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. on Friday February 21, 2025. Motorists are asked to check for possible dash cam surveillance during that time and to provide the surveillance footage to police.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone having information about the incident is asked to contact RCMP NL's MCU by calling Bay St. George RCMP at 709-643-2118.
