Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

Crime Stoppers is asking your help to solve the following crimes. If you know something, say something. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: There have been a number of armed robberies of businesses at night. Victims include an Asian food establishment in Sion Farm, a Pizza restaurant in Frederiksted, and several convenience stores across the island. Two of the suspects have been described as a tall black male and a shorter Hispanic male. Both are dressed in black and possibly leaving the scene in a small, white vehicle. Help us identify and arrest these robbers. Also, call 911 if you see suspicious individuals dressed in this fashion around a business at night, especially near closing time. The minimum cash reward for the arrest of a robbery suspect is $900.

St. John: We have too many unsolved burglaries on our island. Please help VIPD identify and arrest these burglars by telling us what you know, by reporting any suspicious activity you see, and by reporting anyone selling personal property that may have been stolen. The minimum reward for the arrest of a burglar is $714. For the arrest of someone selling stolen property, the minimum reward is $536 plus 10% of the value of any property recovered, up to $2,500.

St. Thomas: On Monday, Jan. 31 at 10 p.m. in the area of the Department of Labor on Kronprindsens Gade, police responding to a report of shots fired found a young male on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The individual was taken to the hospital where he still lies in guarded condition. The minimum cash reward for the arrest of a suspect is $900.

Tell us what you know about these or any other crimes at www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your tips are completely anonymous, and the stateside operators are bilingual.

If a tip leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property, illegal drugs, or weapons, the tipster receives a cash reward to be paid according to their instructions. Only anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for these cash rewards.
