‘Law enforcement will find you’- Gov Pruce to criminals
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Mr Nice Guy Superstore in Manuel Reef fell victim to armed robbery. On Sunday, October 11, 2026, armed robbers descended upon the RiteWay Food Markets branch in Road Reef.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) reported on Monday, October 12, 2026, that it was investigating three recent armed robberies at businesses across Tortola between September and October 2026.
It is unknown whether these robberies are connected.
'You will be brought to justice'
Governor Pruce visited the businesses recently robbed by armed thieves on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, together with Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline E. Vanterpool.
Speaking directly to the perpetrators in a video posted to his office’s Facebook Page following the visit, he said, “The law enforcement agencies in this Territory will find you, and when you are found, you will be brought to justice.”
Mr Pruce also appealed to anyone with information that may be useful to police to come forward. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9593.
“If you know something, please do share it.”
NSC to convene today
Mr Pruce expressed being grateful to the business owners for sharing details of what occurred during the robberies with him and Ms Vanterpool.
“I should say what I’ve heard is completely horrifying and I pay tribute to the people who are the innocent victims in these awful criminal acts; they showed great resilience, great composure, and I wish them the very best as they recover from what were clearly very traumatising ordeals.”
Mr Pruce committed to taking a very active interest in these cases.
“We will discuss them further in the National Security Council, which I’ve convened for tomorrow [Wednesday, October 14, 2026]”.

He said "we will get you", nice phase, well there are hundreds of cases unsolved at the moment, including two prominent BVI attorneys, further there are countless men locked up on remand for serious offences, some of them are remanded longer than there potential sentences. Additionally it doesn't appear that the prosecutorial system is capable of securing any conviction anytime soon. The magistrates continue to take witness evidence in a diary instead of stenographers, so there will envitably have backlogs. All the Law courts are scattered all over the place in rented properties instead of in one central place.
In 2026 the police are still using ancient methods to solve crime, continue to rely on the population which has it's limits. No new ideas or tactics, such as the use of technology or new updated legislations, I believe they are still using a criminal code.
It appears they like it so and it doesn't appears that anything new is going to happen anytime soon. National security will convene, the police and government ministers will make strong statements. The quelba music will just continue.
From man to woman who working right in government with book sense but nothing else .
Good luck
Y'all corrupted evil bastards
