Police shut down all-day brunch for breaking COVID-19 rules
The RVIPF in a release this afternoon said that after responding to a noise nuisance report, they were forced to disperse a gathering at Sebastian’s BVI after an event held at that venue drew a crowd that well exceeded the 175-person legal limit.
Disappointing – Acting Deputy Commissioner
According to the Facebook page of the business, the venue was hosting an all-day ‘Bottomless Brunch Beach Day’; however, Police said that both the event coordinator and the owner of the venue reportedly admitted that permission was not granted to host the event nor to exceed the 175 person limit provided for under the COVID-19 Suppression Regulations.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Jacqueline E. Vanterpool in a release from the RVIPF noted her disappointment to see such a flagrant breach when the rules are there to keep everyone safe.
“Police must enforce the orders as passed and sanctioned by Government. Business owners must continue to abide by the regulations or face the full enforcement of the law,” she said.
COVID-19 rules remain in effect
The RVIPF reminded that Public Health Order 2020 (Covid-19 Control and Suppression Measures) currently in effect states under subsection 4 that all gatherings shall be limited to one person per 64 square feet and shall not exceed 75 persons at any given time.
In the case of graduations, weddings and funerals, gatherings which shall be limited to one person per 64 square feet and shall not exceed 175 persons at any given time:
The Order also states where the organisers of an outdoor event anticipate that the event will exceed a gathering of 75 persons, he or she shall make a written request to the Minister seeking permission to hold the event.
The Acting Deputy also pleaded with the public to uphold all COVID suppression measures until the Government make changes to the regulations.

Hypocrisy
As for that other event, a set of ratchedness screaming idolizing a guy whose soul is lost.
Meanwhile, they find it hard to praise and lift their hands in praise and worship to God.
The answer to be reveal shortly.
The nastiness has to stop!!!!
The videos, pics, circulate on social media and NOTHING IS DONE...YET EVERY OTHER WORD OUT OF GOVERNMENT MOUTH IS GOD USING HIS NAME FOR SELFISH AMBITION!!!!
Where exactly, in the hell, would anyone be exposed to the CCP virus?
Govt is moronic!
Acting Commissioner of Police is supposed to be a God-fearing woman. Hope she puts a stop to it and send her officers there not to watch but to shut it down.
To the neighbour who keep calling the police reporting Sebastian you should be ASHAMED of yourself along with your ENABLER!! Sebastian has fed and maintain your family from it's inception. It has provided the neighborhood with and families with tourism careers and especially yours. Aren't you the same one who benefit from thei over booked rooms. Did you forget that after IRMA the community ate for weeks on "SEBASTIANS" feeding program, are you the same one that benifits from their goods and services?? Go stand on the pulpit and preach about neighbourly love. It was best to ask them to lower the music than to make your self look like a hypocrite. SHAME! SHAME ON THE W****** H******
Shut your stupid @## up! Y’all know there’s a noise level in the BVI by LAW! But the place so lawless, anything goes. Go to hell
This news is so upsetting....I am going saying straight and honest ....The people who getting their full salaries are $%%xxxc the BVI.. They are selfish, very selfish, No compassion, no empathy, no understanding. and have no idea of tge suffering going on...They dont care, they get their full salaries every 2 weeks.. So sad, its some envious, hateful person call the police with a dramatic story,,,,cant ignore the effort this restaurant put in to get customers,,,,,Sad. Shuuting down isnt or wasnt the answer...
Here's how you handle a situation like that super cop.... You don't come in and go directly to the band and stop them from playing then go around bullying. What you do is call the Manager of the business and have a quiet talk to her asking that she stops the band and make an announcement over the speakers that "the police are here and based on COVID guidelines we will have to end the party...and we kindly ask that our patrons disperse within the next 5-10 minutes" the Manager could have simply announce that the bar is now closed and the kitchen will not accept any further orders until the patrons dispersed. At least there would have been a public announcement over the mikes and there would be no need for the suspense and bullying that took place. Patrons would have simply go out in the streets, drink their beers and carry on while social distancing.
There's a way to do your job and there's the right way to do your job. Again, I have no issue with SUPER COP doing his job but it's all about his manner and the attitude that he carries around with doing his job. Here's hoping that I was able to educate super cop and the Manager for future events.
As usual , the BVI police are picking the low hanging fruit. What about going after some of the day to day scooter thugs or public drug dealers right outside Sebastion's ? BVI Love.....my @#$.
@Reading is Key....Shut your r#%^ and go read the law. You only have to apply for permission if you believe that the event will attract over 175 persons. Clearly the Manager did not believe so as she has been doing this every weekend without incident. it just so happened that that Friday night was unusual. I LOVE SEABASTIAN. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERY ONE GO THERE FOR FOOD. DAY OR NIGHT. THE MANAGER KNOWS HOW TO HOST HER GUEST AND THE CHEF KNOWS HOW TO COOK. PERIOD!!!
C****y is who got the white people them lawless. They love house niggas that disrespect their own people. Ever sit and listen to them talk about locals like wtf. Them have no respect them lawlessness sickening
The police do and the BVI people will say “ police harassing”
BVI people are the most confusing and unsatisfied nation on earth.
It’s simple. Just follow the rules and protocols that’s been in place. Over the last months I believe a lot of people been getting away too often and got comfortable knowing it was wrong.
Should of stayed in town but I guess road Town police were getting tied of him giving their own officers parking tickets at RiteWay.
Here is something funny: SuperCop stopped me in town when driving passed the Watering Hole at 1 in the afternoon. He was just talking bollocks about nonsense. I never got a ticket as it was an illegal stop as much as he threatened me. I knew it so just stood there and listened to his ego for 10 minutes, thinking this dude is off my Christmas card list. My dog was in the car at the time and was barking.
Supercop then turned to me and asked me why my dog was barking at him - the dog was in the car with the windows closed - I turned to silly bollocks and told him I didn't know why my dog was barking because I don't speak dog. Then asked him to arrest the dog and teach him a lesson because he talks back to me all the time.
I kept a straight face and he really didn't know if I was serious or not. He let me go and told me he would see me in court which obviously never happened. what a jobsworth so-n-so
