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.
