CARROT BAY, Tortola, VI- The usually quiet community of Carrot Bay was the scene of gunplay and a high-speed chase between a scooter and a rental vehicle yesterday afternoon, October 26, 2020.

According to reports reaching our newsroom, the incident took place around 5:30pm on the stretch of road in the vicinity of the fisherman’s dock.

Persons told our newsroom that close to 20 shots were fired in the direction of the rental vehicle that was being chased by a man on a motor scooter.

Our newsroom was also informed that one of the bullets hit a window of a nearby house.

Some 15 rounds were reportedly recovered by investigators.

It is unclear if anyone was injured; however, the chase continued in the direction of Capoons Bay. At least two persons were reportedly in the rental vehicle.

    They are renting vehicles to commit crimes. My eyes are opened about renting a vehicle. Just say, a regular law abiding citizen rent the same vehicle and is driving along and whoever the rental was chasing start shooting up the rental hitting innocent people inside.
