      I am no fan of super cop but there is no reason to report that he is the father of the man arrested for the burglary. Very poor journalism.

        I know most aren’t fans but really did his job for the most part. This new site is messy no need to have put his fathers name there. Just messy like the shaderoom.

    I hope people don't start saying anything about Supa-Cop. He had nothing to do with this and I am quite sure he is mad as hell and embarrassed to the hilt. His son Glenville Callwood is an idiot and there was no need for him to become a burglar sitting idle instead of getting a job to pay his own way. The older man Howard Hughes sounds like a drifter since he has no home address. This is just sickening for both men arrested, but so very glad they caught these thieves.

      @Greg ..that is precisely the problem here in BVI!! we say that the parents have nothing to do with it but that is not entirely true...On the contrary, they have a lot to do with it .. First Glenville was a child before he became a man and a man just do not get up one day and decide to become a burglar. Those parents have sheltered their kids when they are young and doing wrong, then use their influence to get them out of trouble without having them take responsibility. i am almost certain that this is not the first time he has done something like that but his father always get him out!!! so yes Supa Cop has a lot to do with it.

    These children today sure know how to bring shame on their parents. Knowing Supa Cop he did not raise that young man to take what did not belong to him. Supa Cop keep your head held high. Make sure he takes his punishment like a man

      It shows you are a street man as you say. You should've stayed off the street and stayed in school.

    He needs a social inquiry. He is suffering personal identity, of who he needs to become. Putting him away will contribute to depression, or a state of acceptance of his environment.

    Well if you have the facts that son beats his girlfriend why as a good citizen you dont call the police your self. To sit here and accuse his father of such you is just as bad as him then.
