Regatta Point Villas in St. Thomas (the VIPD has not provided a mugshot of Megan Corry).
ST. THOMAS — One woman is before the courts after showing up on surveillance footage appearing to steal items from her condo association's clubhouse. The woman is also accused of vandalizing the premises by emptying cans of tinned fish in cabinets and the ice machine.
According to a report from the police investigation, the incident occurred on February 19, 2025. Megan Corry, the owner of one of the units at Regatta Point Villas, was facing foreclosure due to substantial arrears in Homeowners Association fees. That matter is currently before the courts, police noted.
Because of this, she has been barred from accessing the Ambassador's Club, the amenity space for unit owners. Despite this, Corry turned up at the club on the evening in question while the space was being cleaned, according to the report. A representative of Regatta Point Villas told police that surveillance footage reportedly captured Corry's movement around the area, where she reportedly took a bottle of wine and removed two photos from the wall, concealing the items from the cleaner. Altogether, the items were reportedly worth over $1200.
She returned early the next morning at approximately 5:45 a.m. Reports indicate she was carrying an item. “She was observed placing materials into approximately 25 cabinets within the facility, including the ice maker, where fresh sardines and anchovies were discovered,” the police report says. Ms. Corry's apparent act of sabotage came the morning of a scheduled party at the club for owners later that day. Police were told that the strong fishy odor that was left at Ambassador's Club after Corry's reported actions could have had adverse health consequences on one of the unit owners, who has severe fish allergies.
Police learned that the homeowners association had recently taken disciplinary action against Corry on February 19 for a violation of community regulations. The alleged theft and vandalism is believed to be her effort at retaliation.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact Corry, police published a wanted poster in mid-May. She eventually reported to the Richard Callwood Command police station on May 29 and surrendered to authorities. She was arrested and charged with grand larceny, unlawful entry, and disturbance of the peace, and remanded into custody to await her advice of rights hearing.
In court on Friday, Magistrate Simone VanHolten-Turnbull allowed Ms. Corry to post 10% of her $20,000 bail requirement in cash. Upon release, she must report in person to the probation office twice a week, and surrender her passport and driver's license. She is barred from the Ambassador Club unless explicitly allowed by the home owner's association.
The next court appearance for Ms. Corry is scheduled for June 13.
