    @ who to blame we are not going to get any better by the blaming game if you know something say something let's not condone wrong even though it may cost you. People just need to stop their foolishness and foolish acts. It does not matter who friend, family or enemy. Simple

    The community knows who these people are but the code of silence prevents them from speaking out. That makes those who know but won’t speak accomplices. Flame away but that is the truth.

    Enough is enough, how in hell can someone break and enter these businesses and there are so many people living around the area. Some one had to hear something. Just a few weeks ago cct and flow was breaking into and to now no one was arrested. These places are just a few feet away from the vg police station, sourrounded by street lights and apartment buildings. Now instead of dealing with covid-19 its robbery. The police have a schedule and a trend on the time they patrol areas on vg and people take notice of that. The police vehicles are marked and every body knows them. Try a different stradegy and see if there will be a difference
    We as bvilanders and business owners will get serious and take the law in our own hands to protect our businesses and homes but we will be arrested if we have to hurt these crimenals if we happen to be in our business places when they try these robberies and then we will be the bad ones.
    Police do something before we do. It is gone way to far now and its hard to be working , paying the banks for our stuff and its being taking from us unlawfulky. That is very pain ful.
    People on vg stop covering up for these robbers and start being loyal to your island . It could be your family business next or even your own. Please if you know who doing these robberies say something before its too late.
    The bad thing is we dont know who or where is next but if the police dont step up we the home and business owners will.

    Speedy, the little shop across the road, CCT are all on the same street as the police station!

    I hope the head of police here feels very embarrassed. These robbers taking him for a fool.

    But can I ask... No witness because of curfew. No COVID in the territory.... so why still curfew!? Of course these robbers can get away with it. Everyone is locked up in their house at night.... even the police!
