Firearm seized from man seen acting suspiciously in vicinity of festival village

The suspect was initially observed in the Festival Village area (Charlie Neil Frett Festiville), where officers identified suspicious behaviour suggesting he might be armed, police stated in a press release late August 2, 2025.
To ensure public safety, a tactical decision was made to monitor the individual until he moved to a less crowded location.
The RVIPF said officers maintained surveillance as the suspect relocated and then safely engaged with him outside a nightclub on the outskirts of Road Town.
Firearm & ammo seized
A search of his person, according to police, revealed a semi-automatic pistol along with several rounds of ammunition.
This seizure marks the 15th illegal firearm recovered this year and brings the total number of rounds seized beyond 1,000.
The RVIPF said the operation forms part of enhanced measures targeting various forms of unlawful behaviour, including alcohol and drug misuse, which are known factors contributing to violent and antisocial conduct.

Well the bvi has officially become a cow boy state where every young man have a gun a feels they have the right to carry a gun. The young man from west end that have been selling these gun that he stole from w*** *a** the day they kill him needs to be caught .
We need change because the only person arrested for murder was the minor and it was the small community that keep this place safe not police from away.
