Crime Stoppers: Help Solve These Crimes

Reducing the cost of crime puts money back in all of our pockets. Make sure no crime goes unsolved. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what is needed to solve these cases.

St. Croix: Burglaries have taken place in Estates La Reine and Richmond, and their surrounding areas, during the last few weeks. These burglaries have happened during the morning when the residents were not home. Police believe someone may have seen a suspicious person lurking about or driving a strange vehicle in the area and are asking for help to identify the burglars.

St. John: On the morning of March 17 prior to 10 a.m., someone stole a woman’s 14K white gold and diamond wedding ring from a room at Caneel Bay. Please help police identify the thief and recover the ring.

St. Thomas: On March 15 at approximately 6:15 p.m., a gun-wielding male entered Kenia’s Fashion Store on Kronprindsens Gade. Before fleeing on foot, he robbed the store of $5,000. Help police identify and arrest this robber.

Police need your help to put an end to these burglaries and robberies of our fellow citizens. Police are also asking you to help identify the people who might be buying or selling the valuables taken in any burglary or robbery.

Step up. Be part of the solution. Continue to help make our islands a safer place to live and visit 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).

All three methods will keep you anonymous. 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 reward for the arrest of an armed robber is $900. For a burglar it is $714.
