Popular U.S. Virgin Islands artist, Pressure, was robbed at gunpoint early Sunday Morning, March 16, after performing at the Black on Black concert, an event headlined by dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel.
The incident occurred as Pressure and his entourage walked to their vehicle parked across from First Bank.
Surveillance footage obtained by JTV confirms the robbery, which took place around 3:26 am. The video, now in circulation, captures the moment two armed men exited a white SUV parked in front of the gated parking lot opposite First Bank. The assailants confronted Pressure and his entourage, causing most of the group to flee. One of the attackers then proceeded to rob Pressure, appearing to take what looked like his jewelry, before escaping the scene.
The entire incident lasted about two minutes after which the video ends with Pressure standing alone by the vehicle he was originally entering, appearing shaken but unharmed as the assailants made their getaway. **
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has confirmed that the past weekend was particularly active in terms of criminal activity.
More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
