Are / were there any street cameras in the area?
Of course not.
This is BVI.
Lot of workers not waiting for the labour to decide!
The destruction of these vehicles by fire will only add to the millions of derelict vehicles, trucks, boats and containers/trailers all over the Territory.
It done have so much of Derelict vehicles and boats all over the place and now this is going to add to the eyesore and nasty unsightly condition that already exist.
Baugher's Bay alone have hundreds of derelict vehicle piling up especially in the area across from Public Works Department.
This Territory is becoming a place of waste and garbage.
