‘Bumpy’ arrested over firearms possession

Police have reportedly arrested Travis Osbourne aka Bumpy, 29, after the discovery of several firearms at his Carrot Bay residence.

A release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) today said yet another early morning operation by their Armed Response and the Special Investigation Teams yesterday resulted in the seizure of two illegal firearms.

Osbourne was then taken into custody, along with a revolver and shotgun found at his residence in Carrot Bay.

He was subsequently charged with two counts of keeping an unlicensed firearm.

The RVIPF said investigations into the matter are ongoing and advised that they are continuing attempts to reduce the number of illegal firearms on the streets and to capture those in possession of the weapons.

The Force is also appealing to the public to get involved in saving lives and keeping the community safe by providing information on suspected persons or the locations where these firearms are being hidden or imported.

    Because he has a lot of popular friends. A simple search on facebook will show quite a lot. And I’m sure none of them will talk bad about him or his lil “activities”

  12. Rush More says:

    Would be a great service if these offenders of deadly intent were incarcerated in the UK or in their places of parental origin.
    Cou l d serve as a deterrent or a motivation to stay after release..

    When will the construction if a much needed additional prison be addressed.
    The currebt getaway inn is full to capacity.
