‘We will hunt you down’- Detective Inspector to distributors of edibles
Mr Bobb was at the time speaking at a gathering at Festival Grounds following a march against edibles on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The march through Road Town was sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church as part of it’s Bible Speaks Empowerment Series, which wraps up this week.
What are edibles?
Edibles are foods or beverages that contain cannabinoids, the active chemicals in cannabis, most commonly THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which produces a high, or CBD cannabidiol), which does not cause intoxication but may have therapeutic effects. They can be homemade or commercially produced and include items like gummies, brownies, chocolates, beverages, and even infused oils.
According to Mr Bobb, sometimes children take edibles to school, eat them, and give them to their friends, which sometimes results in hospitalisation. He said complications include vomiting, diarrhoea, and high blood pressure. “These in themselves could cause serious harm to children.”
We want to ‘find the sources’
The Detective Inspector said the RVIPF is aware of the issue and is working closely with the Ministry of Education and other agencies to identify the source of the edibles.
“I want to send a strong message, especially to those who are distributing it, that we know about it, and our intelligence unit is working with me to make sure that we find the sources so that we can hunt you down and bring criminal charges against you for bringing these things to our young people.”
Mr Bobb made it plain, however, that the unit’s job is not to criminalise young people but to educate and sensitise them about what is happening, and to get to the source of the edibles.
He also said his “strong message” to parents, guardians and persons in the churches is “to be aware of these things.
“Make sure you read the labels properly and make sure that you have someone who specialises in these areas to make sure that your children are not using them. Because if they do, as I said, they can end up in hospitals and have serious complications in their bodies.”

women raise your standards and stop breed for any low life
men raise your standards and stop lay down when them party life women
parents bring back standards, respect and biblical morals
The authorities should take a visit to some of these Middle Eastern businesses, wink, wink.
Then again, nothing to see here, folks, and the water will go under the bridge as usual.
Crime in the BVI seems to see color, and only one ethnic group is always the target. To prove my point, let's get statistics for every case in the BVI that included non-blacks, the types of crimes, and who did what. Look at the outcomes of similar cases and the time spent. It could be the exact same crime, but no time for non-blacks.
Then we hear about the early morning raids and unexplained wealth, which also seems to have color, where no questions are ever asked about another ethnic group. I can drive past a business paying 10 grand a month in rent, non-black by the way, with one customer a year, and nothing to see here, folks.
Let's have fair justice and the same penalties for all who choose to break laws.
Lock them all up for destroying our melanted youths.
young female minors at clubs and bars and outings in short skimpy clothes, smoking just as much as the guys, drinking and living fast etc
Young boys throwing up gang signs, listening to violent dancehall songs, wearing ski mask openly , riding scooters under the age limit, smoking and dressing like thugs....
but we turn a blind eye to it.. now it festering but trust me we ain see the climax yet. young adults/parents if you think this is normal then you have rude awakening and when it comes it will be too late. i wont be show any sympathy when it does it either. this saying long gone with a generation "who dont hear will feel."
I'll edit for you...
