RNC office needed within C.B.S., says business owner

A Conception Bay South business owner is speaking out on the need for a local Royal Newfoundland Constabulary office within the town, after members of his staff witnessed a double murder last month.
On Oct. 15, Brian Dawe shot and killed Juliane Hibbs inside a medical clinic in the Villa Nova Plaza, shortly before he killed Hibbs' fiancé Vince Dillon in the parking lot. Dawe later drove to the Anglican Cemetery on Kenmount Road in St. John's, where he killed himself.
The incident has raised concerns in the business community. Many believe the growing population in C.B.S. requires more police attention.
Villa Nova Pharmacy owner Jerry Young said even with a fast response time and a seemingly large police presence, some residents aren't feeling safe.

"People do not feel safe within the community, and it's predicated on what's happened in the past, as well as the growth within the town, the city and the province," said Young.
Young said one of his employees has quit, after two recent armed robberies and the double murder that took place next door to the pharmacy.
Meanwhile, Young has beefed up his security system and has added more surveillance cameras — but now he's turning to the RNC and the town council for more help.
"I think I'd like to see a permanent [RNC] office within the town."
