Crime Stoppers thanks you for making a difference. Let’s continue to work together to make the USVI one of the safest places in the world to live, work and raise a family. To do that we have to make sure that no crime goes unsolved – and to do that, everyone needs to speak up. If you know something, say something.
St. Thomas: On April 11 at approximately 10 p.m., officers were dispatched to a call for multiple shots fired in Anna’s Retreat near the Tutu Hi-Rise housing community.

St. Croix: A number of burglaries and larcenies have occurred in the Aureo Diaz Heights housing community, Estate La Reine, Candido Guadalupe and surrounding communities.
