Crime Stoppers USVI – 10/1/14

Effective next week, we shall also pass on tips and suggestions on how to stay safe in your neighborhood, at school, at work, or at home. We will continue to ask you to report any information that you may know about any crime that has occurred or may be in the planning stages. And we will continue to submit them to the media as we have been doing all along.

St. Thomas: On Wednesday, September 17th at 7:05 p.m., shots were fired in the area of Berg`s Home. A 52-year-old male was shot several times, and later died while undergoing medical treatment. If you have information about this crime, please call Major Crimes, 911, or Crime Stoppers.

St. John: On Wednesday, June 18th at about 6:10 p.m., a woman went to the Leander Jurgen Command and reported that while parked at the entrance to Oppenheimer Beach, a black Samsung Galaxy Tab was stolen from her vehicle between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 5:55 p.m.

This is an open request to residents on St. Croix, especially to those whose communities are plagued by gunshots frequently. We are asking you to take the opportunity to help put an end to this problem. Call Crime Stoppers or any law enforcement agency. Individuals are coming into YOUR community to create havoc. Our children can`t sleep, go outside to play, nor enjoy their playgrounds. Isn`t it time to put an end to this nonsense? Let us not bury another young man or young woman. Call now with whatever information you know, no matter how small. Help make a difference. We thank you for your continued assistance.

Speak up. Be part of the solution. Tell us what you know about these, or any other crimes. Go to www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org and click on Submit a Tip, or call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Or, text “USVI” plus your message to CRIMES (274637). All three of these methods will keep you anonymous. If your tip leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property, illegal drugs, or weapons, you will receive a cash reward to be paid according to your instructions.
