With Handguns Drawn, Men Carjack Women

News / Virgin Islands / September 8, 2014

Three men carjacked a woman who was sitting in her vehicle talking to a friend in the Harbor View Apartments on September 6, the V.I.P.D has revealed.

According to the female car owner, whose name was not released by police, she was sitting in her car with another female having a conversation, when a man approached her window purporting to want to ask her a question. She rolled down the window, only to be confronted by a handgun and ordered to get out of her vehicle. On the other side of the car, another suspect demanded the passenger to get out. There was also a third suspect, the victims said.

Officers recovered the vehicle the following morning at Ha’ Penny beach and no one was injured in the incident.

Information released by police also made known the men’s attire: all wore black clothing with bandannas covering their faces.

The case is currently under investigation by detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

I wear many hats, I suppose, but the one which fits me best would be journalism, second to that would be radio personality, thirdly singer/songwriter and down the line. I've been the Editor-In-Chief at my videogames website, Gamesthirst, for over 5 years, writing over 7,000 articles and more than 2 million words. I'm also very passionate about where I live, the United States Virgin Islands, and I'm intent on making it a better place by being resourceful and keeping our leaders honest. VI Consortium was birthed out of said desire, hopefully my efforts bear fruit. Reach me at [email protected].
