- Just a few days after armed masked men stormed a bar in Road Town and injured one person, armed robbers targeted yet another bar.
Reports say armed masked men stormed a Bar in the Baughers Bay area Tuesday night.
Shots were fired, however no one was injured from that incident.
That same day, officers on patrol in the Meyers Estate area were alerted by a female resident to an attempted break-in at her home. A male suspect, reportedly wearing a mask, fled the scene on a scooter when confronted. Officers immediately gave chase; however, during the pursuit, the suspect brandished what appeared to be a firearm before escaping from the area.
Premier Dr. Natalio D. Wheatley has emphasised the need for collective action to address rising crime in the Virgin Islands, highlighting the recent Anti-Crime Summit as a key event for finding solutions.
