Two men were arrested in St. John’s and charged with break and enter following an early-morning robbery.

Two people have been arrested following a brazen Monday morning robbery at Always in Vogue in St. John's.

Police say the robbery happened around 5 a.m. NT.

Security footage posted on Facebook by the store shows two men kicking and punching a showcase window before grabbing a mannequin wearing what the store called a one-of-a-kind seal fur bomber jacket.

The men then fled on foot.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary told CBC News that the two men — a 30-year-old and a 31-year-old — were arrested later on Monday. The coat has also since been recovered.

The pair were charged with breaking and entering ahead of an appearance in court.
