LONG BUSH, Tortola, VI- In its rush to being first it seems, new kid on the block Guavaberry Media Inc created some unnecessary hysteria today, October 13, 2023, when it falsely reported of a shooting in Long Bush and that two persons had been injured.

It has since been clarified that there was a simulated armed robbery exercise at the BVI Electricity Corporation (BVIEC) office in Long Bush.

BVIEC has since put out a notice of the simulation exercise.

“This morning at approximately 11:45 a.m. the BVI Electricity Corporation in collaboration with the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and the Emergency Professionals from the D. Orlando Smith Hospital executed a simulated armed robbery exercise. A full press release will follow,” BVIEC posted on its Facebook page.

Guavaberry Media Inc has since deleted its erroneous article.

    It pains my heart that the BVI has come to having to simulate an armed robbery in the workplace. It used to be fire drills, or a natural disaster.

    "t has since been clarified that there was a simulated armed robbery exercise "

    When did that become a thing?? I hope customers were not present cause I would hate someone to have s heart attack during such a exercise.

      BVIEC posted the day prior that their office would be closed although they did not give the reason (the simulation).

    Our people in the BVI is so quick to beat down our very own people.
    If BVI Electricity did not put out a notice to say they would have a simulated arm robbery exercise, anybody would think its for real. Anybody would be scared for their life.

    Look at how y'all just bashing the girl who is trying to do something positive with her life and her business. Its a misunderstanding. Come on man!

    Everyone has their ways and no one is perfect but Cindy is a disgrace to the territory. She has no poise, no grace, no elegance and a woman of character could have the same impact plus more without the lunacy. Where is this loose cannon getting her funding from? Whoever supports her is part of the problem of why the bvi dirty laundry is up In the air for the world to see and laugh at. Cindy alone tells the world that the bvi has no class and no standard for journalism.

    The BVIEC had a duty to inform the public that a simulation of this nature was going to be conducted. They announced that the office would be closed early today. I don’t see the rationale for keeping the simulated exercise a secret. What would have been compromised?? Anyway, another day in the Backward Virgin Islands (BVI)…

      The BVIEC showed gross disrespect for the residence of Long Bush when they conducted their exercise yesterday .Thru did not inform the residents but they informed the staff at ESHS . The residents were terrified the road was blocked off ambulances going and coming armed police presence and the whole nine yards. Business started yo close .
      Long Bush already has a bad name so something like this in not good .Residents should have been notified even if not all the details They killed all the business for the remainder of the day and evening
      To tell the truth the owe the residents an apology

    Guavaberry media is an attention and visibility starved organization and is going to the extreme it seems to get that attention. What is Guava Media’s vision and mission. Media has written and unwritten standards of performance but creating alternative facts is not one of those standards.

    If you are going to do a simulated armed robbery exercise it should go without saying that you need to let the public know especially if it's a government corporation. Can't blame the media for this one.

    Is she the first media house to put their foot in their mouth?? Just this past week two other mediahouses did the same by reporting that a gunman was lose on ESHS campus. They did not bother to fact check with the school or the department of education. Give Guavaberry a break!
