ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI –The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) is reporting that it has recaptured a prisoner who had escaped police custody in December 2021.

According to a press release from the RVIPF on January 18, 2022, officers of the Armed Response Team recaptured Kurt Rabsatt late yesterday, January 17, 2022, in the East End area.

Late December of last year, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force had asked for the public’s help after Rabsatt, 36, of Long Look fled from a police vehicle as he was being escorted into the East End Police Station.

Police said Rabsatt is suspected in a number of burglaries.

In addition to other possible offences, police said Rabsatt will be charged for escaping lawful custody.

          to lock him up in jail and vote the key so that he never goes out to get hurt because he is a thief. and the door opener at night for theft

        I also called and they came out, but the dude was too fast to hideaway. He is very disrespectful and a burglar and thief with mental issues because of his drug use. So glad he has finally been caught. He cut off his hair, but his face is the same crazy-looking person staring back at you.

      @ Bill:. Bill, you are definitely right that he, Kurt Rabsatt, need psychiatric/psychological treatment, but his most urgent needs are Godly reformation, transformation. All three are necessary, though, for his, his family, and the community good.
      We urgently need a legal, elegal Drug Recovery Center in the BVI to help the many youth that are mentally hooked on the wrong substance.
      Christian Community, how about a day of pray at least once a month for our youths?

    after being hide by the same people who always on Government case smh!! Only on Tortola them hide and protect wanted criminals. most of the current young generations on Tortola will have a shot life span because many are in and involved with drugs and criminals. Young man and young woman; walk away while you can; There’s no evidence of a successful drug man or woman that live to talk about it.

    Dude have some type of mental problem, not taking his side or anything but locking him up is not going to help the problem. He need to be somewhere where he can receive psychological care and treatment.

      @ But for real. Well, the prison right now is the only place that can hold him keeping him away from the general public. We cannot live in fear he will break in and steal our hard-earned items to sell for drugs. He already stole someone's bike and was trying to sell it this weekend. He is also young and strong and can hurt someone. Leave him right behind bars.
