Police arrest multiple suspects, including minors, in major operation
Information reaching BVI News indicates that the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) conducted a major operation on Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of several individuals, including minors.
BVI News understands that the suspects are currently being held on suspicion of robbery and firearm-related offences.
Highly placed sources informed our news centre that the individuals were detained, and their homes were searched, with a firearm recovered in at least one instance.
The exact number and identities of the suspects remain unclear. However, sources say at least three of them are minors, with one reportedly around 14 years old.
It is not yet confirmed whether any of the individuals have been charged.

wow
The RVIPF are stepping up – can we please now have a competent DPP to prosecute!
DETAINED AND HOUSE SEARCHED BUT ONLY 1 FIREARM RECOVERD SO WHO COMPENSATES THE INNOCENT AFTER U TREAT ME THEM LIKE THAT AND COME UP EMPTY WHATS DONE JUST RELEASED AFTER
1 gun – 20 years prison
2 guns – 40 years prison
3 guns – life
They may not have found a gun but they were connected to the life and there was reasonable suspicion. Good job police.
So how else are they going to find something if they don’t search. You do realize that in most instances when a person is questioned in relation to something illegal, they are not going to fess up. I’m sure in select few cases you may have one or two admitting guilt but otherwise you have to put in the effort to actually get any info from them. Tortola seems to be an island where people like to keep dirty secrets and confirm to the script that snitches get stitches. So, I agree with the cops searching out who they have to (within reason and the law) to get to the bottom of criminal activity even if it makes some uncomfortable.
PS: There must be some reason(s) that these houses were searched and not just selected out of thin air.
Moomoo. Just because nothing was found, it does not mean they are innocent. Some people are better at hiding things than others.
ALL YALL SOUND SO STUPID UNTIL THAT SAME ROUTINE COMES AT YOUR DOORSTEP SET A SLAVES WITH NO COMMON SENSE I ASKED WHATS DONE FOR THE INNOCENT NOT BECAUSE U ASSOCIATE MEANS U HAVE KNOWLEDGE OR INVOLVED WITH WHATEVER THE OTHER IS DOING THE IGNORANCE OF YOUR COMMENTS PROVES ME CORRECT
Wake up! The arrests were not made purely because of firearms. The article clearly states “…currently being held on suspicion of ROBBERY and firearm-related offences.
People are too comfortable with guns in our society. The law needs to be more harsh on these criminals.
Good Job RVIPF!!
a lot of robbery incidents happening, be vigilant in your homes and community. they are targeting people at banks and following them home.
Just start dishing out maximum sentences to anybody found with an illegal firearm or ammunition. It don’t matter who you for or where you from. The maximums need increasing as well. Find ways to charge minors as adults specifically for firearm related offenses cause if a minor shoot you you’re not any less injured or less dead because it was a minor. There needs to be a clear message that if we catch you with a gun your life properly screwed henceforth. Mandatory deportation with no exceptions to any expat get caught up in any gun related anything. Revoke Belonger status without exception to them who got.
they will get bail and be rdy to attend easter festival to hear our local rappers sing to them about fast life, violence, drugs and gangs with their big gucci chain on flashing in the youths face lol
then our invited overseas artist will show up and sing more to them about sex drugs gangs violence and drugs
rinse and repeat

Ease our pain..Change the demographics to include those places and people’s with less to zero propensity for committing crimes.
Simply look at the countries’ statistics and choose accordingly..that is in accordance with the opposite that us now given preference ..hence the swarm of undesirables in our country.
An easy fix via deportation ,moratorium on entries from specific countries …
