Man charged following Monday’s high-speed chase
A press release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) today, Thursday, February 27, 2025, indicate that on the day in question, officers observed a heavily tinted Suzuki Jimny with its registration plates obscured by a dark film, while on patrol.
Maduro sped off when signalled to stop- RVIPF
The police report that when officers signalled the driver to stop, the vehicles sped off, prompting a pursuit.
They successfully intercepted the vehicle at Bound Tree Road, Sea Cows Bay where a search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 24.7g of cannabis.
Maduro, the driver, was subsequently charged and granted $5000.00 bail. He is scheduled to appear before the Magistrate’s Court on April 10, 2025. The press release added that additional charges for Traffic Violations are pending.
Comply with traffic regulations- RVIPF
The RVIPF is therefore reminding motorists to comply with traffic regulations and to stop when signalled by officers.
RVIPF also encouraged persons to report traffic violations or reckless driving by calling the RVIPF’s non-emergency line 311 or its Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or by anonymous reports through the Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-8477 (TIPS).

You serious??
A police chase - to go where??? on a 2 by 2 little island.. he should be locked up on the charge of stupidity...
If you don’t know what’s the current date, once you hit Baugher’s Bay or Road Town, you’ll know pay day is within 48 hours. RVIPF, get your act together, it’s a shame y’all only patrol twice a month. And your schedule is well known.
Oops!
He’s homegrown.????????♂️
Not one death ever reported on Tortola despite all the smoking that will go on at the Vybz Kartel concert.
The young man saw his bright future doing down the drain with a record over some green grass that god created and thus he decided to shake the popo like he was riding with a whole cake when in reality he was riding with under an ounce of cannabis. In the proposed legislation for legal VI cannabis written under the last governor & premier adult persons such as this man were to be allowed 50 gram which is two ounces.
With under a ounce is he even a dealer? Or is that his personal stash. When they said significant seizure I expected he had pounds.
This guy looks way too young to be not given a second chance with a clean record minus the traffic violations, but we create our own criminals by this senseless prohibition of a medical herb.
