The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) in a press release today, October 13, 2025, said it has charged two men in connection with the discovery of the illegal firearms.
Charged are Jahvin Chinnery, 18, of Great Harbour, Jost van Dyke and Yrvin Stephens, 18, of Lower Estate. Both have been charged with Keeping a Firearm without a License, Unlawful Possession of a Prohibited Firearm and two counts of Unlawful Possession of Explosives for 34 rounds of ammunition.

ladies make better choices with the men you choose to have children with. I see those two I am running the other way
You take a duppy ring. We warn you to. See you in Balo them man waiting on you.
Cause if not, the unknown robbers are still at large. People please please be careful when going to parties or just out in general. If you have no business being out, stay home!!
Females need to consider LOOKS and FEATURES over d**k size and sometimes money. GEEZ
And then starting to bloom
We keep promoting and idolizing criminal life
We have plenty women and young girl here breeding for criminals cuz "she luv bad man" then they end up a single mother unmarried producing more criminals.
I saw a social media video of some BVI women here posing with hand in the form of a gun holding the trigger
Yea keep promoting this behaviour and idolizing it. The youths are watching and learning from y'all and they'll become even worst than y'all
Y'all got people dressed up with mask and money bags and Ballon guns on jueve then wonder why so much youths love guns and crime.
It all jokes during festive events until one of those dunce youths pull up on you for nonsense
The same young adults here who see ntn wrong with the new culture being promoted are only fanning the flames. What is positive about dancehall songs singing about sex,drugs,gang and violence?
What is positive about dudes with no jobs with big gold chains coming rapping for y'all cuz he a local rapper?
What is positive about getting drunk and dry humping each other on the roads then breaking out in fights over woman and man for dancing with each other... isn't that the culture....so why fight? Probably bcuz tho intimate dry humping means more than dancing and "culture"
What message are you sending to the Younger generation???
Well you about to see what message they got soon
