Police investigating Tuesday-evening armed robbery on Tortola
Police are investigating a store robbery that happened minutes before 8 pm on Tuesday, March 24.
The establishment in question has been identified as E&B Superette, which is located in the Nanny Cay/Hannah’s Estate area of Tortola.
“Inquiries indicate that two armed gunmen entered the business and carried out a robbery. They then fled the scene in a green Kia Soul with no identification plates,” the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) said in a subsequent media release.
The RVIPF did not report any injuries associated with the robbery nor did they disclose what items the assailants made off with.
They, however, issued an appeal to anyone with “pertinent information” about the incident to contact the RVIPF at its three-digit access number, 311, or its Intelligence Unit at 284-368- 9339.
“All information will be treated with the strictest confidence,” police said.
This is the second reported robbery to have happened in the territory within the last four days. Just last Friday, armed gunmen robbed Banco Popular on Virgin Gorda.
The RVIPF said an unknown number of persons have already been arrested in relation to that bank robbery.

Lazy effers wont look work to do.
Why not tell us who was arrested?? This is a pretty small place, If given some info, I think we can figure out this for you. I think we have seen with this Virus, All this hush-hush crap is going to kill us all.
We need a new Government Prosecutorial Head !! that local one is a crack in legal system , letting these bandits roam free to continue creating havoc even after they get caught, now look at this mess
yo just begging for curfew and restrictions to be put on people too right as if it ain hard enough.
We still ain listening God, We still ain heeding …Your will be done Father cover and protect those in your midst… be merciful
Well there should be a record of all the green Kia souls imported into the island. Wether personal or being rented.
That’s a start there.
Your telling me nobody reported a missing green Kia Soul?
Exactly how many green Kia Souls are there on Tola? Can’t be many. Eliminate the school teachers, businessmen and real working family folk. What’s remaining. Wrap this one up fast.
There were more than two robberies.
Two guys also held up a bar in Sea cows Bay.
It is an illegal to drive a vehicle without ID plates please report them to the police immediately.
We need to see the pictures of the criminals caught on cameras put then out there that the only way the public can assist. Shoot them if caught.
Do E and B have a video camera outside? this should a simple case.
