Man hospitalized after armed robbery at Road Town bar
A man remains hospitalized with serious injuries after being shot during an armed robbery at a popular bar in Road Town in the early hours of Saturday, October 4, 2025, according to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
Police say two armed suspects entered the establishment, robbed patrons, and discharged a firearm, striking one male victim. The injured man was transported to Dr. D. Orlando Smith Hospital, where he is receiving medical care.
This latest incident is part of a troubling pattern of armed robberies across the territory in recent days. Authorities report that within the past week, there have been multiple incidents, including a vehicle stolen at gunpoint on Beef Island, which was later connected to another robbery in Road Town. In both cases, masked men brandishing firearms robbed victims of their valuables. No other injuries were reported in those incidents.
Police Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool expressed deep concern over the spike in violent crime.
“We are deeply concerned about the recent spate of armed robberies and last night’s shooting,” she said. “These reckless acts threaten the safety and security of our community and will not be tolerated. Our officers are working tirelessly to identify and apprehend those responsible.”
She urged anyone with information to come forward to help bring the perpetrators to justice.
In light of the ongoing threat, the RVIPF is also warning residents that individuals wearing jewelry at night appear to be targeted by robbers. The public is strongly encouraged to remain vigilant, especially after dark, and to stay aware of their surroundings at all times

Which bar in town?
That is a secret….location and name of the establishment is a secret as are the perpetrators if they are caught by the BVI. Only if they are caught by the by USVI will we have access to the identity of the potential or even career killers
It is all in keeping with the open
secret that these VI elected and all else are in bed with the criminals in all walks of life in the BVI,,hence the protection and resulting aiding of crime and criminals and we the everyday unsuspecting are left as sitting ducks exposed to harm anytime all the time.Know that the crimi als potential and seasoned are dominated by aa specific demographic imported and permitted illegal entrants from the most violent sources and locations in the Northern Hemisphere,and located in the Caribbean Island chain, Typically young Black males and one or both parents of such. Our built for their arrjval prison is long overcrowded with them and as yet not a word a
Mentioned about an additional one so we headmaster with ” seeking independence” and not even a pot to piss in or to store the puss piss and chit.
Them man want that police woman from bageon she putting her hands on people she better keep on her vest
C****r they going to get u next time u go rub man going to leave you Dead in your masks for your police Dad
strongly encouraged to remain vigilant
This should not happen in town after the pier park robbery and other murders in town. First I ever hear of vehicle robbery at gun point in the BVI. Get them.
Citizens need guns to.
Any body associate themself with that man down duff buttom( *trucking man) their life is in danger. Keep from him
Wrong move. The patrons didnt know a robbery was happening. The robbers didnt even know who to rob. One going this way another going the other way until someone innocent got shot. Bounty for chains and wallets. One need hanging. That would cool them out.
Someone will go after them for the shooting in addition the police. They cant sleep.
I am the ghetto, I am the street, I am the police patrolling the beat, I am the Domino player, I am the customer at the Bar..I am the one reach out to the crime summit organizers, they ignored me, act like they know it all, The young men show up with Guns, mask and aggression, The young ladies are the master minds of most criminal action. Knowledge comes through listening, Wisdom is humble, knowing observing, saying little with facts and great impact..Until. We need the crime to stop.
No more coke can come to the island. So hustlers got to rob
Hey the on the yello site the wigged one , would of used POPULAR BUSINESS MAN but ah got the message / ah wanna live
Just give all qualified citizens licenses to bear arms and use them when necessary. If an armed man was in there chilling he could of easily taken out at least one of the robbers.
I second the motion
Which fetching bar?
Why can’t you tell people? May be some witnesses and someone could help find the perps.
This is not a news story until you us what happened, where and when.
Why no mention of the bar? We all got to avoid the Pier Park now?
Ironic since he allegedly also took a chain from a dying scooter rider and was mentioned in past robbery in town a year or 2 ago hmmm
we got a choice
keep letting this banana republic / jr. cartel sh– keep happen
have respect for our society, and put ppl the fk away for decades when they fk with guns
since our prosecution is a joke, the ppl must rise and demand,
or in less than 5 yrs, we be poorer than vincy because all your money coming from rich ppl who don’t need to visit crime pit.
simple. so many islands round we, and thy all want our $.
allow a land of corruption to govern you and you will all perish
The BVI code of silence in the face of all kinds of crime will be the death of the country. Ignoring the rules – whether they be traffic lights, failure to pay NHI deducted from workers over to Government, drug dealing or transport or gun running – this will come back to bite everyone in the butt. It is now crunch time – change, or watch the tourists and then the financial services industry disappear elsewhere.
Hope he gets transferred to another hospital or we’ll be looking at murder charges
