ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - The Royal Virgin Islands Police (RVIPF) are on the hunt for a male, who it is alleged attacked a woman with a machete and demanded and threaten her for sexual favours, yesterday August 31, 2017 on a beach on Tortola.

According to the RVIPF, they are currently following several leads into the case of indecent exposure by a male at the Long Bay Beach, on the western end of Tortola yesterday afternoon.

“The perpetrator reportedly was armed with a machete and threatened a female who was at the beach at the time,” explained the RVIPF in a press release.
