FAHIE HILL, Tortola, VI- The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has reported that a firearm and several rounds of ammunition were recovered following a search operation at a residence in the Fahie Hill area on December 30, 2025.

One male has been arrested and taken into custody for questioning in connection with the recovery.

This operation forms part of the RVIPF’s violence reduction strategy which prioritises the removal of firearms and ammunition from the streets.

Firearms are the weapons of choice for many violent offenders and almost all the murders in the Territory over the past 20 years have involved the use of firearms, the RVIPF stated in a press release today, December 31, 2025.
