Biker pulls gun on cops following accident on dual carriageway

To the actual gunman or firearm mentioned in the article.

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.

      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.

      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

    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.

      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!

    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.

      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.

  22. LG says:

    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.

  23. ? says:

    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.
