A St. Thomas man was arrested Saturday after police recovered a stolen vehicle that had been taken from the Virgin Islands Rescue staging lot late last month, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
Officers responded to Polyberg Hill around 8:36 p.m. on Nov. 8, following reports of a recovered gray Toyota that had been removed without permission from the Rescue staging lot on Oct. 29, according to the police report.
An investigation identified 36-year-old Janijah Benjamin as the person seen in possession of the vehicle. The victim told police that Benjamin did not have permission to use it, the police report stated.
Benjamin was arrested and transported to the Richard Callwood Command, where he was booked on a charge of Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. His bail was set at $25,000. Unable to post bail, he was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections, the report stated.
