POCKWOOD POND, Tortola, VI- It was on March 20, 2024, that a vehicle was burnt to a shell at Pockwood Pond on Tortola.
Nearly three weeks later, the destroyed vehicle remains on the side of the road and this has upset some residents.
Some have described it as an eyesore and “unacceptable” for a tourist destination for the vehicle to be left at that location for so long.
It is unclear who the vehicle belonged to and why it has not yet been removed from the roadway.
The cause of the vehicle fire is not known by our news centre and the Virgin Islands Fire and Rescue Services Department had not responded to our queries at the time of publication.

Where basic sh*t needs to be brought to the governments attention by residents...
Smh
The all island is like that
No one claims to know even if it is the people's business and public concern
Everything is a secret and so ,much beneficial for the illicit activities..
Sooo what went on here that would require evidence be destroyed in this drastic fashion.
But imagine that is the same place for three Weeks, and they would give the property owner fourteen days.. One day somebody is going to get hurt seriously.
