Only yesterday, July 1, 2015, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) announced a Firearm and Prohibited Weapons Amnesty for the month of July, with the amended Firearms and Air Gun Act 2015 now enacted,
The RVIPF hopes that persons during the month-long campaign will use the opportunity, in light of the increased prison terms, to turn over all illegal or prohibited weapons in their possession to Police.

In court today, prosecutor Garcia Kelly gave notice that the prosecution will not be pursuing charges against Francisco Ovalles and Alberto Ovalles based on certain admissions made.
They were then ordered released from custody. from all of them I know Alberto and Francisco, they are good guys.
