UPDATE: Guns and ammo recovered after police raid in Cane Garden Bay
This news article has been updated.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has indicated that it recovered two firearms along with several rounds of ammunition in Cane Garden Bay during an intelligence based operation on Friday, January 24.
This seizure is in addition to the four individuals arrested after search warrants were executed in the community.
While specific details regarding the arrests have not yet been disclosed, police confirmed they were connected to heightened gang activity in the vicinity.
The RVIPF has reported a 12% increase in crime for 2024, largely attributed to organised gang activity, including burglaries and robberies. While authorities noted significant arrests have been made to curtail these crimes, Cane Garden Bay has experienced an uptick in criminal activity so far this year.
