What happened at Ann Harvey Place?

Police issued a short shelter-in-place covering Ann Harvey Place and nearby streets after two targeted St. John’s home invasions. Three suspects were arrested and a fourth remains at large. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary lifted the order and reported no ongoing threat to the public once the area was secure and arrests were made.

Is Kenmount Terrace safe to travel through now?

Yes. Police lifted the shelter-in-place and said there was no continuing public-safety risk. You can resume normal travel and routines. Stay alert, keep doors and windows secured, and follow official updates from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary for any further guidance or investigative requests.

How do such police orders affect insurance for residents and businesses?

A brief, targeted incident usually does not change premiums on its own. Still, insurers may ask about security upgrades at renewal. Keep documentation for locks, lighting, or cameras, and review limits, deductibles, and exclusions with your broker. Report any damage promptly and preserve relevant video footage if available.

What should small businesses do after a shelter-in-place lifts?

Reconnect with customers, reschedule missed bookings, and check inventory and delivery status. Review security basics, back up point-of-sale data, and update your continuity plan. Save receipts for any repairs or upgrades, and speak with your broker about coverage details and endorsements that address theft or property damage.
