CANE GARDEN BAY, Tortola, VI- Students and teachers of the debating team of the Claudia Creque Educational Centre in Anegada had little time to celebrate their success at the preliminary round of the Inter Schools Debating Competition on Tortola on Monday, January 27, 2020, as they fell victim to burglary during the night.

According to reports reaching Virgin Islands News Online, the debating team was staying at a guest house in Cane Garden Bay where the burglary occurred.

    And don’t steel from visitors, whether from here at home, or from abroad.
    People in Cane Garden Bay, and all over the islands, are working hard in the Tourism Industry.
    Don’t make it harder for everybody else, and unsafe and inhospitable to our guests.
    So Sorry for the students from Anegada.
