Car wheel thieves reportedly on the loose in EE/LL
Just yesterday, August 5, 2016, a post on social media gave further confirmation to this issue, which formed part of a discussion on August Monday where two persons spoke of waking up one morning to finding their car wheels gone.
“I had to ask myself if there is an evolution taking place with these thieves. Like them boys meeting up and studying and discussing what next line of thieving they going to start. It seems to be academics at another level,” opined one man.
On a Facebook post of August 5, 2016, Ian Clark wrote, “Keep an eye on your tires. Seems we have a tire thief in East End!”
At least one other person commented as having a similar experience recently.
Rikki Richardson said, “Oh they got you too! I had my spare stolen Jouvert morning.”
Where are the community police?
One of the persons who had first raised this concern with our news room questioned the vibrancy of the community police. “The previous commissioner was all out about this community policing group thing. He was even saying the best are in East End but it seems like after he left them boys resign or went to sleep or something because we are not seeing them out and so much small crimes happening around.”
Supporting that comment, another said, “This place has a good reputation of starting something and allowing it to die quick but we need both the people and the community police to re-strategize like them thieves doing so we can be ahead of them boys and stop them in them tracks.”
On the other hand, Mr Clarke gave praise to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) who he said were very quick in responding to a report he made. “Kudos to our police officers. Called them less than an hour ago to report a minor crime and they have already been out to the house even in this weather.”

@wize up. A$$h**e, you already echo my point so why u asking still. You recognized that the number of criminals outnumber the police, they lack resources all round you turn, no man is an island and people do make mistakes, glad that the police was able to investigate and lock up their own but you should dig deep and see which other department do that to their own. Afterall you are not that smart as you think you are.
H**na man them is who doin tbis shit....a suzuki grand vitara was also stole on monday monday...boss ur day coming keep it up
How about, walk your A$$ or catch a ride to work (or going to look for work) and leave the man damn tire alone. I own a vehicle and if my tire flat I am not going to steal somebody else's because I don't have money. Stop making excuses for the damn thieves!!
Had somebody stole a mirror from a rental (parked in Trellis Bay) I had a few years back. Had to fork up $225.00 because somebody felt they needed a mirror and don't want to pay for one!!
