Minor charged for possession of AK-47 rifle
BVI News has learned that a 14-year-old minor was arrested and charged in Virgin Gorda after an AK-47 assault rifle was reportedly found in his bedroom.
Highly-placed sources told our news centre, that family members had sought police assistance upon suspecting the youngster of possessing the weapon.
Police visited their Virgin Gorda residence, conducted a search, and recovered the rifle and 18 rounds of ammunition from the minor’s room, BVI News understands.
The boy was arrested and charged for unlawful possession of an unlicensed firearm and explosives thereafter.
It is unclear if he remains in police custody.
Under Virgin Islands law, an AK-47 is classified as a “prohibited weapon”.

14 years old; these high powered weapons are now so available to anyone it seems.
We are on the edge of a societal break down here. Quite literally the criminals outgun the RVIPF.
welcome bviraq
OMG 14 years old??
LOCK HIS A** UP WITH NO BAIL AND CHARGE HIS A** AS AN ADULT.
PUT HIM UP BALSUM GHUT WHERE THEM OTHER BAD GUYS ARE SO THEY BEAT HIS A** SINCE HE WANNA BE A MAN.
AT 14 YRS WHAT THE HELL HE’S DOING WITH A GUN?
HE’S OUT OF CONTROL AND HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
THESE SO CALL PARENTS HAVE ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE RUDE A** CHILDREN BEHAVIOR.
THEY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.
Deal with him as an adult. If he had shoot somebody with that AK47 it wasn’t going to be a ‘minor” death or injury.
Kudos to the family who reported him. All those other families need to do same
is using school children to like a delivery service using scooters & and them Kia soul / the police needs to keep a serious surveillance team on the youths , because even some of their own parents isn’t aware of what their entitled kids are involved in / some patents are aware and is enjoying the rodeo game wealth / and refuse to think that their innocent child are in the drug delivery service / they are in for a rude awaken / some of those same schools children are on cocaine / but the parents are afraid to have their kids checked out to make sure that they are clean / and some are afraid of whst they might find in their holy child’s system / and some already know , so they won’t have their kids checked out
He holding that for someone else. Two days in solitary confinement (should by hot days) and he will squeal like a little piggy……good job by his family for reporting his dumb azz
Who was grooming this child, yes a child. From a reliable source the gunmen is teaching and using the young boys to carry out the killings. The dude that was killed recently by the market square was shot up by some young boys that was recruited to green light dude. Why you think his killers has not been found.At least this one family notified the authorities before he had shot them up in their home or someone on the street.
The youth are the problem in Antigua I am going to ask the police and the Army show them no pity, no mercy..Four youths shot dead in Antigua by the Arm forces after being caught in a robbery. Some countries ain playing…
Kudos to the parents. To decrease the wickedness in this country is for parents to speak out and get help. Kudos to you, keep praying for the children.
What Andrew Fahie has done to your children by allowing the criminals to set up their drugs and guns in the Territory?
Y’all see. You have a photo of this Andrew Fahie anywhere?
LOL!
That’s a good one.
The gunmen is grooming the young boys to do their killings now. Why do you think when people in Tortola get killed the killer(s) is never found. The boys and girls that is up and down on those scooters day and night is moving the drugs and guns. If you are a parent and you did not buy your son or daughter the iPhones and the Gucci chains where do you think they are getting them from.
and we still have the king nof of his yello site (aka) the wigged one is still hollering out from his throne
” FREE THE DREW ”
along with colonialist slave masters ,racist
narratives , this hippo
will do or say anything
just to seen and with
his overgrown EGO in
overdrive ( ain’t no stopping him now ) he’s already in his FANTASY WORLD- sadly he really believes it some say on the streets he a live psycho walking amongst us ,just waiting to IMPLODE from all the EVILNESS that he has stored up in himself • what a pity , all that knowledge wasted in his evil thoughts , a real narcissistic dude
At 14 you really have a mind of your own. They dont need anyone grooming them besides the music, GTA, and their own mind. Stealing scooters was all the rage years ago. I guess now they have protection on a whole other level.
Stop dumbing down them by calling them children. We’ve all been there. Even growing up my very neighbor my age was caught stealing my stuff, my cousin stole from me, a lot of memories coming back… Some people are just built to be bad.
In this case, the 14-year old was not smart enough to discern the inquiring nature of his parents, not to mention not smart enough not to keep it in his room. More likely he thought he had a mind of his own….the current science suggests that frontal cortex (decision making part of the brain) is not fully formed until you’re in your early 20s, which explains why many youths engage in stupid behavior (and get taken advantage of).
Is the little gangsters is going to one day go up in the schools and start shooting up the schools. I don’t mess or say anything to the young boys and girls that you see out here on the street idle not going to school.
The family of the 14 year old boy that turned in their son to the police. What in the world a 14 year old child is doing with a AK47 assault weapon in his home.
To many women with too many kids with all kinda a man for the wrong reasons produces these sassy children with no guidance and delusional behaviour
The lasting forever crime agaibst these VI and its people was to import a deluge of a criminal demograhic and poverty which now is the dominant population of these VI. Microcosm countries of the worst in the Northern Hemisphere are the communities of
these VI. Two parent household are are . Children have no knowledge if which baby daddy share his / her DNA. Such. A demograhic Andrewcateted to as their comradarue was willingly useful and their criminal comfort and familiarity was conducive to his illegal enterprise .Their votes fir him guaranteed. Periodically he gave out status by the hundreds and hundreds. So yes these VI have a bleak financial and social future which mirrors the countries of origins of the now dominant population cultural norms.
May the Godfather of this potpurri of filth rot in his cag
Stop blaming andrew like a ghost, he was just a fool who got set up. The governors have always been responsible for border security.
Like I’ve been preaching to y’all the next generation of youths heavily glorify the criminal life style. They literally run songs about gunning people down at festival grounds. Where young people gather in droves. There are young women in local rap videos with local artists who are flashing guns and them face not hidden .
Parents take heed and steer your child on the right path. Start condemning wrong doings and immoral behaviour
We in trouble long time
I’m sorry to say this it doesn’t make any sense. The cost of a AK 47 is very expensive where a 14 year old get that kind of money for that,I believe he is holding it for someone
Wiggy wiggy and WB IS HOLDING THE fort down. Wiggy Wiggy from the outside and WB from the inside of camp cup cake up in the hill.
UK Police need to come. Clean up BVI , stay for 6 months on rotation. get the corruption handled.
If we dont get outside impartial help BVI is going to end like Haiti. Gangs controlling politics and police.
Do it now and save country.
Young Black male with the requisite ties,imported installed and so on and so on…
If I am not mistsken,there was a almost hushed but eventually shoo showed incident where a YBM was toting a real gun in his school backpack while in school..but followup on the incident,rumored to be one of like incidents within the school,was hushed up and shooshooed..the lives of our real BVIslander children are of no value no more than our vehicles bumping through the no end in sight ever miltiplying numerous and multiplying potholes.
In the real World a un toting minor school child would be removed from his/ her home and parents/ guardians charged with a crime
Wonder if it is the same boy!
What boats does customs not look at when they’ve arrive? Every day coming from the Rock.
Wkndrr of the authorities will obtain info from thus boy regarding source and contacts for the gun ,ammunition and “hire for murder” operation.
Where did he get it from? How did he buy it? Who gave him the money to buy it? Or did he steal it?
Boats come in and out of Virgin Gorda with no checks by the Ports Authority.
No one should have known who turn in the boy for their safety who going to protect the person that every one know it a family member what if the owner for the gun comesafter the family now sometimes they have to know what to publish
