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 identify and arrest the suspects.
St. Croix: Our public housing communities are being plagued by vandals, who are stealing aluminum windows, electrical wiring, and copper tubing from propane gas tanks used by residents for cooking; it is all being sold as scrap metal. Most often, the persons involved are not residents of the community where the crime is committed. When we come together to help our neighbors, we are helping our community grow and prosper. Give law enforcement the information to identify and prosecute the ones responsible for these incidents.
St. John: On Saturday, February 18, at 6:00 a.m., the housekeeper for Villa Venuroso at 17A-1 Enighed was robbed by a male who came through the northern front door, pointed a knife at her, and demanded her money.
