ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Police are investigating a break-in at a jewellery store on Main Street.
The Jewellery Box was reportedly broken into on the night of October 30, 2012, however, according to sources nothing was taken.
The proprietor of the business entity declined to comment but when Virgin Islands News Online visited the scene investigators could be seen dusting for clues. A display glass case was also broken and the place appeared ransacked.
Reliable sources told this new site that the business does not keep precious jewellery on site but rather at a much more secure location.
It was also reported that it is not the first time that the business has been preyed upon.
Virgin Islands News Online will bring you more information as it comes in.

Officer: peers into the car and asks is anything missing?
Victim: Yes, (list items)
Officer: We cant really do anything, look where you parked etc should I go on?
I keep nothing of value in my car, I leave my door unlocked, that way if any theif wants to get into my car to steal nothing at least i dont have to pay for a new window.
These types of saftey apparatus are prominently displayed in alot of the stores on St. Thomas especially in areas such as the Wheatley Shopping Center.
A simple padlock on any store on Main Street is not going to work. An iron bar criss-crossed over all areas of perceived entrances would be a much better shot at security.
It's unfortunate that our law enforcement agencies have not been a bit more assisting in helping Main Street merchants in the varied areas of better security enhancements for their businesses.
Let's hope that this robbery would help to galvanize their actions into better solving the security issues of the downtown shopping district!
