Gun shots are heard on a regular including after midnight.
Instead of going house to house put up CCTVs in these areas.
Scooter riders have fired guns coming up that hill.
There are also cars that speed recklessly up that hill. Some of these are doctors who should know better.
Then there’s this vehicle all after midnight going 2am waking you out your sleep revving on the hill continuously.
to operate a bar, the quality of life of the neighborhood must be considered. Wake up BVI Government the time is now to do something before these types of crimes seriously damage the reputation of the BVI.
) those are the side effects of the blood money , so when you see anyone getting RICH OVERNIGHT , DON'T envy them , just make sure you stay on the right side ????
The shooting happen at a bar, a place of entertainment. Were no police present in Huntums ghut?
This is why the police bill was controversial. Police cant search at a whim like they wanted now they will show up uninvited to ensure safety. What?
People are more safe at home left alone. Without a stranger police of unknown temperament in the yard with their weapon.
I got stopped a couple times never been arrested and every time its a stranger asking me where i live in my own neighborhood. By law they know you have to tell them. To me it they start with a power trip.
Naturally I get nervous and they now thinking I'm doing something wrong when otherwise minding my own business. In one incident the officer said I was lying when I told him where I live. Ridiculous & frustrating. What more can i say?
This is why they should operate in pairs, not only for their safety but for ours because some of them have bias.
Yes something is wrong because people dont care to stop and ask me questions & its apparent they are not really concerned with my wellbeing.
More street lights
Plenty cameras
Killers will think twice you can track them getting away on camera straight to their home or hideout
That Great Mountain road is dark it needs lots of lights and camera
The UK wants to hold the power and cant seem to handle the responsibility. They have roadside cameras in the UK to track speeding plates, and cameras everywhere.. yet here they pretend there is no surveillance.
They do what they want for their own agenda and leave us on our own in the woods knowing there are wolves roaming meanwhile stipulating we citizens have no legal means of self defense not even pepper spray. It is as if those in charge have no common sense or lack free will. We have so little roads why are they not monitored????
the police like them more afraid of the criminals than the criminals are afraid of the Police Department
Some of those spanish people, have more rights in the BVI than you , they belong , please don’t forget that you born TOLA , but your mother from St Vincent.

And you in turn was born in Tola but your mother was born in St.Vincent , who deemed to belong ?? Check it out and apply to constitution ….
