Police say a young man in custody accused of erratic driving and speeding — reportedly with a weapon — was also involved in an alleged carjacking that prompted an urgent police warning Wednesday. Police said the suspect, 21, allegedly had a weapon, although they would only say it was not a firearm, and said he was driving a red Pontiac van in Holyrood, St. John's and Colliers. However, before that, the suspect was driving another vehicle. The incident started as a theft of Kia Sedona in Avondale around 8 a.m., according to the RCMP. The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District told CBC News that the school returned to normal once the suspect was placed in custody.
