Crime Stoppers: Help Solve these Crimes

Crime Stoppers is asking you to continue to help law enforcement control crime. If you know something, say something as the cost of all crime is ultimately paid by the law abiding citizens of the community through higher prices and higher taxes. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: Law enforcement is again asking for help with the investigation into the deaths of Kassaun "K-Force" Baptiste and Jose Navarro "the Mighty TNL" Baptiste. Their lifeless bodies were found in their home in Estate Whim on the afternoon of May 1. If you were in area that morning or anytime earlier and saw anyone or a vehicle entering or leaving the premises, or if heard anything unusual, police need to hear from you. Please help law enforcement resolve the circumstances surrounding their deaths.

St. John: On May 6 a representative from the University of the Virgin Islands reported that an iPad had been stolen from the St. John office at the Market Place back in January. Tell us what you know about this theft.

St. Thomas: On May 9 about 2:30 p.m., a man was at the Anna’s Retreat basketball court when he heard gunfire. He discovered that he had been shot several times. Help put an end to the indiscriminate wave of shootings in public areas by telling us what you know about this incident so police can identify and arrest the shooter(s).

Please continue to work for the good of all by telling us what you know about these or any other crimes at www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You can also text “USVI” plus your message to CRIMES (274637).

If your tip leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property, illegal drugs or weapons, you will receive a cash reward to be paid according to your instructions. The minimum cash reward for the arrest of a burglar is $714 plus 10 percent of the retail value of property recovered. The minimum reward for the arrest of an armed assailant is $900. Crime Stoppers’ maximum reward is $2,500.
