Police warn of increased vehicle theft attempts
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has issued a warning about an upsurge in reports of individuals attempting to gain unauthorised access to vehicles in the Road Town area.

Residents were also reminded to ensure that valuables in their vehicles remain concealed from view.

Immigration. Start picking up ppl out there
Ning, Inger and the other departed souls know who the culprits are, but they will never be caught,because people who we trust does violate that trust… It is not al immigrants, legal or illegal either.
Lots of expensive vehicles just sitting in Road Town car parks all day and night are just low hanging fruit for all the thieves and criminals passing through the capital daily.
Either work from home or leave your vehicle at home if you must go to town in a taxi, bus, bike or by foot.
Whats the point of catching them. They cant even catch murderers. And if they go to court who going to convict them? Not the jury.
