Minor charged with criminal damage, multiple burglaries
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has charged a 17-year-old male from Jost Van Dyke with criminal damage and four counts of burglary in connection with incidents across the Territory.
According to the RVIPF, the burglaries occurred in Butu Mountain, East End, Great Mountain, and Mount Healthy.
Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline Vanterpool emphasized that this arrest reflects the RVIPF’s dedication to addressing community concerns and tackling crime.
“Whilst we have made progress, our efforts will not stop here. We continue to rely on community cooperation to strengthen our crime-fighting initiatives,” Vanterpool stated.
She also highlighted the troubling trend of youth involvement in criminal activity.
“The involvement of so many young men in crime should be a concern for all of us in society, and it will take an all-hands-on-deck approach to solve this serious problem,” she concluded.
The RVIPF continues to urge residents to assist with their efforts by reporting suspicious activity and supporting initiatives to address crime in the Territory.

Getting younger and younger while the government focuses on parties and ex criminal dancehall artist to sing to the youths
Save the youths
Too many young boys into criminals lifestyle
Too many young girl chasing the same young boys and wanting live a street girl life while them parents dress them up in skimpy clothing from young
And all of them driving Kia souls
What we sow we’d reap. We’re the worst generation ever, we blame the youths and everyone else especially island people and exclude ourselves though we’re most abominable and miserable.God keeps perfect record and everyone not found in the book of life will burn to stubble. Repent and impart better to our children and they will not depart from the good teachings deposited in them.
