‘No stone will be left unturned’ in bringing Pier Park robbers to justice- NSC
The robbers, brandishing high-powered weapons, created mayhem when they discharged several rounds; however, there were no injuries.
“We are thankful to God that no one was physically injured during the incident, the NSC said in a statement on July 1, 2023.
The NSC said it wishes to assure everyone that the security of the people of the Virgin Islands is of paramount concern and that “no stone will be left unturned in bringing the perpetrators of this crime to justice.”
The NSC is therefore appealing to anyone with information on those responsible for this violent act to contact the Police with tips at Crime Stoppers and/or the confidential and untraceable hotline 800-8477[TIPS], 800-847-8477 and 368-9339.
Meanwhile, the NSC in the same statement said there will be an increased presence at the Pier Park and at other events taking place in the Territory this weekend to help ensure the public’s safety.

Because we give them all vehicles to gallivant so they forget about the business community in the capital. When they go to a little traffic accident it is 4 to 6 of them. If they go to search a home it has 20 with high powered guns and when the real sh** is happening they stay far away until they are sure the perpetrators are long gone then they show up. Them fraid like the rest of us who are unarmed and only them have authority to use guns do they should be in and around the businesses because their presence may well have an influence
On the other hand if the perpetrators are caught today there case will be tried in 2028 and the judge will take into account they have already served 5 years, so we have already have an overcrowding of cases problem, inferior prosecution and inept prosecutors who is still using a criminal code in 2023.
The bvi is in a mess nothing works, the country needs a clean sheet from top to bottom with new systems and new ideas in accordance with best international practice however we may win this fight but loose the war.
Amen ...kmt the police force and the wider government bodies need to know that criminals in the 80s and 90 are different from now ...so the police force need to arm all competent officers and done with this community policing sh**
high day and robberies is normal in this once tranquil land: the same head of crime in this lands had the nerve to create and publish a video belittling our country
Those of us over 60 years can open say we now more police officers yet more crime[no one blaming the police: just facts
.youall always have a fancy speech full of impressive word for everything show us some solid arrests , charges and convictions. Show is solid police presence throughout each community day and night and theb we can see your stones turning to building blocks.
Should be a stronger police presence before this happened. within 1/2 square mile we have all of the banks, all of the jewelry stores and all protected by contract security companies that with all due respect, cant stand up to teanagers mouthing off let alone adults being agressive...absolutly pointless if there isnt the official back up of armed police in the area .....on patrol,
..permenenently
how many high value targets are the at TPP. ??..To many for tpp to not have proper securitt in place.
Mr. Governor, Mr. Premier and other members of the NSC, you are failing us horribly! Why hire so many police officers if they are not going to be utilized by having them frequently patrol (by vehicle, bikes, motorcycles and on foot) commercialized and other heavily populated areas? Yes I agree that you can’t be everywhere at the same time but this has been happening for far too long for you not to have a game plan. The only time we see police officers is immediately after an incident or when they want to put extra $$$ in the kitty so they do traffic checks to check vehicle licensing and tint.
Please do what is expected of you. Be proactive rather than reactive. The community will continue to be skeptical of you until you prove that you have what it takes to execute plans that will minimize crime and quickly capture assailants. The festival season is upon us. Please do what you have to ensure that copycats know that you are serious about crime.
Additionally, stiffer laws are needed as penalties for having guns (especially riffles). Currently, a trip to Balo does very little when it comes to scaring the criminal community. This needs to be changed.
THE POLICE SHOULD ALREADY BE AWARE OF , SO NEXT TIME THEY WOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT OR CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES , BEFORE THEY STRIKE AGAIN ( IN OTHER WORDS YOU HAVE SUPPLIED THEM WITH SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION , WHETHER THEY GET CAUGHT OR NOT
Why are all officers headed toward the scene of a crime where the perpertrators clearly left minutes prior? Arent they suppose to be forming some sort of outter peremeter to narrow down a search? Cops came from the town, east and western direction. The perpertrators obviously ran in one of those directiions. Could you imagine a cop car literally flying past them because theyre all busy running to the pier park?
If we will start calling a spade a spade and standing on our decisions as one ppl things will be better.
In this small bvi it's all about who u know and what last name u carry. If your child or does wrong nip it asap font allow it yo go on this always ende up bad.
It could be your boss, friend, ehoever , if they are doing anything wrong and you know it's wrong tell them they are wrong and you will not condol it.
This will put a damper on our tourism and the law is not for any of us here.
