Crime Stoppers: Stop Crime, Get Paid

Crime Stoppers empowers law abiding citizens to make your neighborhoods, schools and businesses safer by reporting information while remaining anonymous. If you know something, say something. Law enforcement needs to know what you know. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what is needed to solve the following crimes.

St. Croix: On Nov. 23, 2012, about 9 p.m., police officers responded to a robbery in progress at Champ’s Sports Store in the Sunny Isles Shopping Center. As officers approached the store, they were ambushed by two armed masked suspects who fired several shots, wounding one officer. The suspects are two black males; one about 6 feet tall, with a slim build and possibility wearing a light blue shirt and jeans. The second was 5′ 6” to 5′ 9” tall, possibly wearing a blue shirt and pants of unknown color. The suspects ran into Sion Farm. Tell us what you know so police can identify these brazen robbers.

St. John: On March 25, about 9:40 p.m. a woman reported her iPhone was removed from the bar at Castaways. The iPhone was in a black case shaped as a Cat. Please help police by sharing with us any information you have about this theft.

St. Thomas: On April 3 at 11 p.m. in the area of Prindsens Gade and the former Antonio Jarvis Elementary School, a woman was robbed at gunpoint by two masked males who took her jewelry and cell phone. The robbers then walked away from the victim. Tell us what you know about this incident.
