Visitor flees after being denied entry into BVI
Reports indicate that a male visitor from Honduras fled the arrivals section of Terrance B Lettsome International Airport after being denied entry into the territory on Friday, October 11.
According to sources, Customs personnel notified the police following the incident. The individual arrived on an InterCaribbean flight, but the specific reason for his denied entry remains unclear at this time.
Authorities are actively searching for the man, who was last seen heading toward Trellis Bay.
BVI News will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Where is his photo. That should have been bill boarded in Road Town, shared with every taxi stand and sharing around on cell phones. Why are our borders so weak?
Man in transit to rock
No picture because Immigration forgot to turn on the cameras this morning.
I guess he had some business to deal with before he leaves.
The word on the street is that most persons believe the DPP cannot successful prosecute a murder even with a video and a confession – so he will be happy to go about his business.
Name and photo so the public could report if we see him??????
This happened nearly a week ago and it’s only making news now?
Really shows the initiative to get this sort of thing fixed…or else government was just hoping he’d have been picked up by now and no one would be the wiser…too late.
dem mek sure he done gone
Today is October 17, 6 days after the incident. Why is it that we are now hearing about this? My goodness.
Now, he was reportedly “last seen heading toward Trellis Bay’, and authorities are still actively looking for him.
Well, one can reasonable assume he is long gone…horse out of the barn gone. Maybe he is St. Thomas. Who knows? 6 days is a significant long leeway.
We don’t know when law enforcement began searching for him, but at this time, it is reasonable to assume he is nowhere in the Trellis Bay area anymore.
That being the assumption, someone had to have given him a ride away from the airport. He has to sleep, eat, and shower somewhere.
Who helped or is helping him?
lol wtf BVI not a real place. A man just make a run for it at the airport after being denied entry and get away just like that and you now reporting this a whole week later and still with no picture or name. So all you need to beat our airport security is a working pair of legs basically.
Lawd a mussy wah really goin on in this lil territory?
People pass through the BVI’s porous borders 24/7.
Not even two Officers of the law on duty at the Airport?
Any way the Officers in the forcebso fat they cannnot run .He!He! The man would have far gone Tortoise chasing after a hare
Our country getting worse every day
EVERY AIRPORT NORMALLY HAS POLICE THERE ON DUTY , HE MUST OF HAD IN TURBO CHARGERS , THAT SOUND SO HILARIOUS , THAT I WOULD OF LOVE TO WITNESS THAT , HE MUST OF TOOK OFF SO FAST THAT THE CAMERAS ONLY SEE THE LAST SPOT WHERE HE WAS LAST , EVERYBODY BLINKED AND ALL THE SEE WAS HIS SHADOW
That is how they move. Police want info from us and never give us info to help protect our community.
It is not only the BVI police role is too entitled & separate. When that rapist was running around st.thomas it was atleast 5 woman down before they told the public to watch out.
These BVI are a real threat to the US and the world. The borders are lightly patrolled and immigrants from all walks of life and illegal drugs,human trafficking from lands far and near, make their trek to the USA,Europe,Middle East with rare interception and only when the USA border patrols are the interceptors.l am hoping that with the election of Donald Trump,these VI will be sealed off from entrance to the USVI. The apocalypse is a given with the cooperation and assist from these VI. A Satanic entity,these VI and extremely bold and cold with their eventual demise as they self destruct.
“l am hoping that with the election of Donald Trump,these VI will be sealed off from entrance to the USVI.”

First let me acknowledge that we do have a problem in our country like so many Caribbean islands with illicit drugs and human trafficking.
This problem is complex. The drug cartels have and are taking advantage of our porous border and willingly corrupt individuals are facilitating the flow of drugs and human beings for a profit. It’s a dangerous network of criminality.
As we all know this criminality ensnarled our former Premier who now sits in Federal Lock up in Florida.
Here is the problem as I see them:
1. We don’t have the resources in this country to stop every drug that hits or shores or people trafficked.
2. We got criminal elements within our own boarder who are part of the network of human and drug trafficking.
3. Our Law Enforcement and Courts cannot seem to rise to the challenge to fight this menace. It’s larger than they have the capacity to handle.
Thus you would note there is increased cooperation between the BVI and USVI/DEA boarder patrol. That seems to be working as several people involved in those trades have had their operations interrupted, arrested, and imprisoned (on the US side).
This must continue in a sustained manner to keep the drugs and human smuggling to a minimum. There will always be someone who would try until they get caught.
As for Donald Trump winning and sealing off the BVI, that’s not going to happen. First, come November 5, in my judgement Donald Trump will NOT be elected President of the U.S.
Whomever the president of the US is, sealing off the BVI will never be considered a viable or serious option. What they are doing now having a cooperating arrangement with the BVI is far more effective and practical.
Your response details reasons why the BVI as a favor to WorkwidexSecurity,the should be sealed off from direct access to the USV. You cited the reason as not having the resource. We are fully aware the resource has been refused by the BVI. These VI are
of no use to world and regional
safety if as you indicate..are
unable to issue a bulletin with
name and desciption of a runaway.
Noresource to publicly and immediately alert and identify via airwaves and fliers. Yes these VI and their reps mouthpieces,are boldface liars and criminals of the worst kind.A passing bomb might be a better remedy for this place as defence for the safety of many worldwide.
and describe the culprit…
The concern regarding the questionable imports legal and illegal is real We must realize abd accept the open secrets that the prison is full to capacity and detention for the new and arriving lawbreakers is not doable.in the meantime,we throw out status at no cost to hundreds of questionable long term vultures,adept at birthing crops of criminals to become the new and lesser in everyway occupants of the once decent crime free quality life BVI.
What about Donald Trump – Worst dumb, piece of sh..t America ever had as a President.
So the man just run off the airport like nobody business? Beef Island not even densely populated. Nobody went after him? He would need a ride to go town or even money’s to catch boat to VG..
Just like the man man who went straight to Dr. Smith house
So how many others have got through which arent reported? This Island is becomming more and more unsafe and the news will encourage others to do same.
This runaway illegal entrants on our shores in our space without a name ,no physical description..except for apparent gender. He ,one of many by blatant by air.
A few weeks ago,one deceased female found..no name,no physical description,boat piloted by an unknown male who to date has not been reported to be identified or described and whereabouts supposedly unknown
Photo and description of boat ..none ..but we de people lookout
to alert law enforcement???
I am sure someone knew this Man was coming to BVI. He went straight to Trellis Bay? Which Boats leave Trellis? Check the Construction Companies in BVI.
