Biker pulls gun on cops following accident on dual carriageway
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has arrested a male scooter rider who pulled a gun at police officers during a daylight incident on Thursday, August 19.
A RVIPF media release issued this morning said things unfolded around midday when officers of the East End Police Station visited the scene of a lone scooter accident near Delta Gas Station.
The rider had sustained visible injuries.
“While police waited for the arrival of the ambulance, the rider took out a handgun, pointed it at the three officers and then attempted to escape on foot into the Johnson’s Ghut area,” the RVIPF reported.
The police said its Armed Response Team subsequently captured the gun-wielding biker.
He is presently in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries and charges are pending upon release, the RVIPF further said.
Investigations are ongoing.

What an idiot
Another good Belonger offspring. Slap him on the hand and send him home to Auntie. Don’t forget to give him his scooter and gun back. You are a disgusting lot.
If you have a problem with BVI Belongers, I suggest you go back home. I’m pretty sure your home has problems too and that’s probably why you are here.
Pay People like @Lmao No Mind. They don’t a second of your Time
All over do have problems but y’all acts as if y’all own ppl so innocent and don’t be in sh** how because whenever they’re caught y’all shut y’all mfin mouths up but when it’s n off islander town n country ah one bout it. Bias till alyo sickening
All over there are problems. Who are causing the problems? The dark skin ones. Who fills up the prisons worldwide? The dark skin ones. Who murders, rapes, steals and sells drugs? The dark skin ones. Get the picture. No go stfdown and stfu.
No idea what that outpouring was but I think I might agree with it. Difficult to tell, tbh.
Don’t assume he not a belonger. Ppl play games on boards. Dumb but true.
Couldnt a said it betta myself smfh
Are you dumb you can’t be from here
Why were East End Police Officers dealing with an incident in Road Town?!
Think about it. If the “East End” police wasn’t on the scene he would of gotten away. Besides no matter what area a cop is assigned they have jurisdiction anywhere on these islands
@ lmao, on NO, NOT with the new sheriff in town. I would be totally disappointed in him. Give the biker the penalty!
This cant be true. Is this really true?.Wow. if this is True and he were able to walk after..Rule 1/ Never pull a Gun if you aint going to useit, U will end up dead..
Take 15 years in prison with no trial. Jack azz
commissioner, you are putting the lives of your officers at risk out there. so they had to wait on the armed unit to respond and apprehend the armed suspect? All officers, once on duty should carry a firearm. This is not 20 or 30 years ago, almost everyone has a gun, except the POLICE.
Where is the pepper spray and taser they like to use.
You sound real like a real j@ck@$$ ….so, a du_my like you will expect a taser or pepper spray to take down a GUN …..look a mumu
Typical overreaction. It’s just not true that almost everyone has a gun. A very few do but thank God we not the US. I never want to see my country have legal guns.
Yeah, the illegal ones are much safer.
under our current system, we have everything worked out. Under the US system, there would be another funeral to organise.
young @$$hole…1st gundelero to run from cops without guns
Straight out of the ‘1000 Ways to Secure Your Cell in Prison’ tv show. This can’t be real!
if was another country.. he would be dead at the scene, from the moment he pulled that gun..
yeah, so how’s that shoot-to-kill policy working out over there?
Wouldn’t that depend on what the other country was?
The worst countries for gun murders are Brazil, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Guatemala which account for over HALF the world’s gun murders! You are a LOT safer in the rst of the world. Even Afghanistan has a lower murder rate than the US!
was hollering out at the police when they had to take the mental crackhead in order to control him , well we are waiting to hear him holler out at the police now
We are practicing Vatican choir cop in the bvi. If it was a police pulls a gun at him you hear these hypocrites lambasting the police. Now is the other way around, you would hear 100 foolish reasons not to prosecute him . But when it comes to prosecute police evidence pouring like rain. I am not saying not to prosecute rotten cops . I am sick of them but fair is fair.
Was he saying he couldn’t breathe when they arrested him? Seems to be a common ailment.
British or American racist which one are you?
BVIslander
Nice to know there is a police presence on the streets at last, and nice to know they are engaging the lawless criminals in our midst.
only tola.
why not get an AK47 for your friend ? / ALL you hypocrites do is incourage these entitled wanna be gangsters to do whatever they want / by comparing what’s going on in other countries . If the lady who was robbed and shot was your family .I don’t think you would of made that RACIST comment
Waiting to hear how this unfolds.
why the police do not have guns; all police officers should be armed with a gun. it may not be this simple next time around. so arm them
The BVI is a territory of the UK…..
Research the policies and practices of the UK pertaining to policing while keeping in mind that the police force is under the umbrella of the UK … Simple Simon met a pie man,Jesus Cristo!!!!,
What a moron. He’s already injured and needing hospital treatment and probably facing charges for motoring infractions, but nooo, that’s not bad enough, lets pull a gun on the police to ensure my place at Balo. You honestly can’t make this sh!t up!
A life of crime does not pay, sounds more like an old slow motion or brother-stand-up-movie. People especially our young men, please look to God and live. Invite God into your heart and lives, he has pardoned countless and will never refuse you! Remember John 3:16, repent and be saved.
Police officers often chase and harass scooter riders. There is more to this story!! Most police officers have no morale and professionalism.
why does it matter if the person is black, yellow, white or blue! anybody that points a gun at someone else should have the book thrown at them.
Its simple. One of these little fools needs to be shot by the police. Maybe then the rest will realise it is not a game.
When them come to shoot you. I’ll like to see who you’ll call.
