Two teens arrested after being found with loaded gun
Two 17-year-old males were arrested in Road Town following a late-night police chase that led to the discovery of an illegal firearm and suspected drugs last Friday, July 18.
Highly-place sources told BVI News that officers responded to reports of suspicious individuals and later spotted the suspects hiding under vehicles near Craft Alive in Road Town.
One was found with a loaded Glock 17 pistol while the other reportedly had suspected cannabis. Sources told our news centre that the weapon had at least a dozen rounds of ammunition.
Both teens were arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm. Their identities are not yet known to BVI News but it is understood that one on the teens is from Virgin Gorda.
They are expected to be arraigned before the Magistrate’s Court.

Well done cops!
I Want to see the poca. of theseso call tugs
Young fatherless Black males with ties to the CARICOM .
And them done back on the street to finish the job …
Which means that 8 of those years were while Myron was minister of education
Myron is my least favorite politician, but he is NOT responsible for the upbringing of these wannabee criminals
Ayo always blaming Andrew and Sharrie
I am soon forty and surely I am not ready to die!.these just left High School and more than eager.
So they don’t have name jack ass
They are still minors and the law prohibits their names from being released.
This the the kind of situation where I wouldn’t mind if they gave out a lil Rodney King treatment when you catch their @$$
The laws in the BVI states that you are a juvenile if you are under the age of 16. That’s why if you have sex with someone under the age of 16 you will be arrested. They are deemed to be adults and they are engaging in serious crimes so print their names and show their pictures.
The nation’s elected people must bring some common sense,thoughtful thinking and actions to their portfolios and services.
Crime for example is rooted in POVERT!!
Erase POVERTY and reap a significant drop in crime and gun play.
The people need good responses to bad problems, not bad ones.
The BVI imports and installs poverty.
Note the zero crime and zero poverty of places..the common thread is the importation of that and those non beggars. Givers as opposed to takers.
Next door there is St Barts as an example and as always there is MONACO.
Crime is rooted in the character..as exemplified by the up de isluncriminals that are characteristically ungratefully riding these VI and neighboring islands with neither a hint of regret embarrassment or shame. Typically spreading their dark character anywhere and elsewhere they land…USA,Canada,Europe. Word is that Africa has uprooted oand deported some from the ancestral Continent after being given free land and other niceties for easy settlement in the motherland.
Their islands without exception flows with Nature’s bounty,unlike these VI dryweather hurricane prone butta people of gratitude,humility and gentility. What lifted these VI is solely the
Character of its people having less and sometimes nothing,unlike their updeislun neighbors but their innate good characterappealed to the Universe and Lord. No one with good intention from elsewhere as they drop anchor invested and built in these VI ever had to be concerned about robbery murder and stuff in between….CHARACTER..the good kind…
RULES..It topples poverty all the time everything and served with sincere gratitude is always a winner.
Rvd
Begins in the home
Children bringing children and aging grandparents left to care for them
No boundaries are in place
Teachers are left to be parents and parents cursing off teachers
The church compromising with the world because some one is afraid to offend its members
Communities watching behind their curtains as they do not eant to be involved
Government members do not care until it touches their own
We live in a society where love and empathy is overwhelmingly shadowed by selfishness and greed
YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT AND THAT GIVES YHEM ENTITLEMENT TO BE ROBBING AND KILLING ~
AND WHEN THEY CATCH THEM , THEY JUST GIVE THEM A PAT ON THEIR SHOULDER AND TOLD DON’T DO IT AGAIN ~ HOW WONDERFUL //\_ @ 17 YEARS ) WERE YOU FLEXING OFF YOURSELF WITH YOUR PRECIOUS WIG AT THE SAME TIME- ( JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Only when their families get killed it is a growing concern
Yet still they know what they are involved in
Young men and women not woeking but wearing 5, 10, 15, and 20 thousand dollars gold accessories
Parents do not question their children how they come by it.
The desire for Material possessions have blinded our sense of Morality
Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles look the other way then they blame Government
They run done the members of the police force saying it is only island man soo they not helping with “ If you see something say something”
We are destroying our once peaceful island because of our prejudices mentality
So where are the BV young people
Afraid to
Protect and serve because many times they have to incriminate their relatives
Sad but true
And guess what I’m seeing going on sale and advertising today?
Face Mask with two peep holes… Basically a gunman mask so the youths can wear festival and juve lol
It feels nice to wear them for those events but it won’t feel nice when one pull on you with a gun. Stop promoting nonsense.. but yea save the youths guys seriously start shunning these things
