UPDATE: Cash & cell phone taken in Delta gas station robbery
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), in confirming the robbery, stated in a press release today that the male cashier reported that he was approached at the outer window by a man who demanded money.
“The same male then made his way to the main entrance door and fired gunshots at the door shattering the glass. Upon entry to the establishment, he entered the cashier’s station and took an undisclosed amount of cash, along with the cashier’s phone and left the premises,” police reported.
The culprit, according to police, is described as a black male, about 6’1– 6’3 in height and was wearing a red shirt with a red cloth covering his face and mouth at the time of the incident.
The RVIPF also confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.

The proprietor stated he had just entered his vehicle after closing his establishment when he was approached by a masked male with an object in his hand who instructed him to hand over his proceeds. The assailant then took a bag containing money from the front passenger seat. He was then joined by an accomplice, also masked, who used an instrument to deflate one of the vehicle’s tires. The two then fled the scene on foot.
No one was injured in the incident.

Only a bullet proof window should be accessible to the customer to place the money/credit card through.
Then the business should have working cameras on each corner of the roof.
Criminals plan for you....better start planning for them. You're on your own.
In other words, blame the people commiting the crimes, not those responsible for solving/preventing.
Many like to condemn law enforcement but the pyblic's help is needed to solve crime too. If you suspect or know who the perpetrators are call the crime stoppers hotline and leave a tip. Police need our help too...and yes they do patroll all hours of the night and day.
I hope when the day come when someone answer their a$$3$ BVI don't bawl and talk shittery bout they didn't deserve that. I grow up hearing you live by the Sword you die by the sword. Time longer than twine eh. People blogging this crap bout let super cop patrol at night, let super cop patrol in Purcell and dem chupidness talk like that could sound like sense. You people done don't like him on the streets issuing tickets tis to tackle crimes of these magnitude by his lonesome? Idiotic thinking. We all know the outcome. The RVIPF needs to balls up and do their job. This talk about them not wanting to do this and that because of the stigma (want of a better word) of not being from here is ludicrous. They were trained to deal with specifics and should be made to do just that. They know what they signed up for and what the paycheque looked like so why not do the damn job. Did they not know they weren't from here when they joined? Police presence is so limited in the BVI it's painful. Might as well they just hire crossing guards then. Even they you don't see other than being at the school zones. Every damn body housed in the police station doing what I'd like to know. No police presence means no respect for the police. Super cop is TRYING HIS DARNEST BEST and we crucifying him. I'm sure he'd like to do more but THAT MORE is not a one man story and to operate in THAT capacity comes with ramifications in tola today. The ENTIRE BVI WILL COME OUT TO CHEW HIS @$$ ALIVE THEN. The police needs to gain control of the streets once and for all and stop being whimps. Who get caught get caught. And the law needs to deal with WHO GET CAUGHT ACCORDINGLY. IM SO SICK OF THIS DAMN PLACE AND THE BLAME GAME. Coming out for festival time to look at and lust after the scantily dressed women is not a problem for them but they haul under a damn rock thereafter. Utter BS
my employees and my customers. All I am saying is if they come to rob my business, they will not get out. Most of us business owners make just enough to pay our employees. Parents, please tell your boys to think twice before they decide to rob someone's business because one day, they are going to walk into a hornets nest. Those mask that they are hiding under and the guns they have is not going to protect them.
Now the police drop the ball sometimes, but we all have a responsibility to each other and our country. Good cop bad cop they can't do it on their own. So let's help them. We can criticize once we do and they do bad job but if it's a good job let's give them thumbs up
There are too much victimization taking place in the force and its mainly coming from the ..................... He need to get those that he's supporting to get their a$$e$ out there and do something positive for the betterment of the country. A group of non productive @$$.
Start the investigation from the inside out. Some of the personnel working in these places know the cash flow passing through and help set it off. Cameras will tell HOPING THAT DELTA HAS CAMERAS. We all watch tv and see how easy it is to set up something like that. Not hard one bit. Now to those bloggers who mentioned police being on patrol and seeing them for themselves I take this time to say kudos to them (the patrolling officers) but patrolling and entire night in a vehicle is not good enough. Have some patrol by vehicle yes but have some patrol by foot in an inconspicuous manner. POLICE SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AT NIGHT BUT SHOULD SEE NEARLY EVERYTHING GOING ON AT NIGHTS. Driving around in a vehicle only make them forcused on what's in front of them but missing what's going on in the cracks and crevices. I can understand the patrol vehicle can respond quickly to a matter but it also marks you. Criminals know where you are all the time and you have no clue about them. Two spin around and they get sleepy and back to base they go and guess what it's a possibility they are being watch and monitored. They need to change their strategy and mindset. Things can work out differently but I still insist THEY ARE TO DAMN LAZY. To the blogger who stated that the community should come forward and assist the police; I totally agree with you, so what's next. Just talk right? Why wait for the commish and waste of time politrickcians come out and chat shyte why not call meetings and see what you can do. See who has working ideas and how to move forward. We most definitely need to take back our islands BUT I hope when it's exposed that it's our family members involved we continue on with the plan. Some of us WELL KNOW THAT WE HAVE RELATIVES INVOLVED IN THE ishness and won't do anything. To the other blogger who mentioned arming ourselves, hmm, while I'm not saying it's right to do (for the simple fact that regardless of the situation you will be imprisoned for unlawful firearm and explosions, not being the holder of a firearm liscense, maybe murder if your a sure shot, attempted murder, wounding with intent and the list goes on) it's going to come to that THEN THE POLICE AND POLITRICKCIANS will understand the urgency of what's going on. These gun violence will continue to spiral out of control until the judiciary system step up its game, names stop being a reason to penalize individuals properly, (what's good for me and mine should be good for you and yours), proper prison system set up to house these hardened criminals (stop pussyfooting with criminals at balsam ghut) since they watch tv they should see in real life how life is in such a system. Extend balsam ghut if that's what it takes. I know the choir will sing the hallelujah about our money feeding them but it already is so what's the difference. Think cost of living will decline in the coming years after Trump has taken seat? STRUPS. Extend balsam ghut and house them for well into their adult/old age years. This thing about drug rehab and anger management that the courts trying to enforce and the offenders laughing at it let it happen while they reflecting on life in the system. I said it and will say it again TORTOLA IS THE ONLY PLACE PROBALBY ON EARTH (Caribbean for sure) CRIMINALS AINT AFRAID TO GO JAIL. Come on man. Step up the frigging game and get some mandatory systems, firm bail numbers, heighten the jail terms and whatever else to help curb these crimes, going. Prisoners should be treated as such. PRISONERS. Mandatory HM uniform until their release and that includes going to court. Not sending messages on the outside to bring this and that like prison is a FASHION FORWARD RUNWAY ON THE HILL. Only in the BVI. BUT, I'm telling you SOMEBODY going to CRY a CRY like we NEVER HEAR BEFORE RIGHT HERE IN THIS LIL TORTOLA. MARK MY WORDS.
