(PLTM) - Officers of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, during routine patrols in the Lambert Estate area, observed three males in hoodies heading in the direction of His Majesty’s Prison, behaving suspiciously.
Upon seeing the officers, the men fled on foot and as a result a chase ensued, but they managed to evade the officers. During the chase, a bag was discarded by one of the suspects which revealed three firearms. One semi-automatic weapon and two pistols were recovered.
The recent recovery brings the total number of firearms seized in September to five. The police remain resolute in their commitment to recovering illegal firearms and apprehending individuals found in possession of such weapons.
Anyone with information regarding the possible identity of these three males are asked to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339. All information will be held in the strictest of confidence.
Further updates on the investigation will be provided as they become available.
