The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) is intensifying its investigation into a string of robberies that have unsettled communities across the Territory, as detectives close in on what they believe to be a coordinated criminal network.
The series of incidents — spanning from Long Bay, Beef Island, to Pier Park, Tortola — has prompted an island-wide response from law enforcement. According to Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Dariel Robinson, investigators have confirmed that a vehicle stolen during the robbery in Long Bay was later used in the Oasis incident.
The RVIPF is also probing robberies at Touchdown Bar and La Cachet. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage and awaiting ballistic and forensic test results to determine whether weapons recovered from suspects are linked to the crimes. “Our detectives are working around the clock to bring those responsible to justice,” Robinson said. “We are confident that the evidence being gathered will lead to key breakthroughs.
These incidents have our highest priority.” In a separate development, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department arrested two males in connection with a July robbery report at Pier Park, Tortola. Both individuals were interviewed and released pending further investigation.
Police have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in solving the ongoing cases.

Hodge’s journey to the Olympics is a story of dreams realised through relentless hard work. “I was extremely relieved when I found out I qualified for the Olympics because it has been a dream of mine since a very young age,” she shared in an exclusive interview. Her determination was evident from an early age when she broke a 26-year-old Junior Olympic 200m record at just 12 years old.

Reflecting on her inspiration, Hodge credits her mother for sparking her interest in track and field. “My mum inspired me to start running track because I would always see her medals and trophies. I wanted to earn trophies and medals as well. My mum continues to influence my athletic career by allowing me to be myself and supporting me no matter what,” she said.

Hodge’s daily training regimen is rigorous and carefully tailored to her needs. “No training day is the same, but I generally start with the same warm-up and go through well-thought-out exercises and drills that cater specifically to me and help me perfect my craft,” she explained. Balancing her training with personal and educational commitments requires exceptional time management skills. “I balance my training schedule with my personal and educational life by having great time management, allowing myself to be a regular college student, and finding hobbies outside of track and field,” she added.

Despite her youth, Hodge has faced significant challenges. An injury earlier this year tested her resolve. “My biggest challenge in this journey was my injury because it shifted my plans tremendously. I got over this challenge by trusting in God and also making sure I surrounded myself with the right individuals to uplift me,” she said. The support from her community has also been a source of inspiration. “Although I don’t reside in the BVI, the community has shown so much love and support which has inspired me to continue to strive for greatness,” she noted.

Hodge draws inspiration from track and field star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, whom she admires for her humility and faith. Her most memorable race to date was running a 22.33 indoor, an achievement that she describes as “so unpredictable and shocking.”

As she prepares for her Olympic debut, Hodge’s main goal is to execute her races with confidence and comfort. Music plays a key role in keeping her focused and motivated during competitions and training. To handle the pressure, she relies on her support team and journals to express her thoughts.

Hodge’s Olympic journey represents more than personal achievement; it symbolises hope and opportunity for the younger generation in the BVI. “I believe that being able to compete on an international stage at such a young age has brought publicity to the BVI and created many opportunities for the younger generations,” she said.

Looking ahead, Hodge plans to savour her college experience post-Olympics and compete in the World U20 Championships in Peru. Her approach remains rooted in enjoying the sport she loves. “I plan to go out there and enjoy myself while doing what I love,” she said.
