Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

Crime Stoppers needs your help to solve the following crimes. If you know something, say something, as law enforcement cannot control crime without your help. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: On Monday, May 23 at about 3:30 a.m. in downtown Frederiksted, two masked men, dressed in black, got out of a white Toyota truck and demanded money from a 28-year-old man at gunpoint. After robbing the victim, the two men fled in the same truck. Help solve this crime, and other robberies, by telling us what you know. The minimum reward for the arrest of an armed robbery suspect is $900.

St. John: Sometime between May 2 at 6:30 a.m. and May 13 at 5 p.m., a residence at 6-I Enighed was burglarized. The burglar(s) broke into the northwestern bedroom by removing the A/C unit from the northern window. Roughly $7,000 worth of jewelry was stolen, including two white and gold bracelets with the names Dejenne and Nyree on them, as well as many other unique pieces. For a complete list of the stolen jewelry, please visit our website. The minimum reward for the arrest of a burglary suspect is $714 plus 10% of the value of any property recovered.

Please continue to help make our community a safer place to live by submitting information on these or any other crimes at www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Your tips are completely anonymous, and the stateside operators speak several languages. 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. Only anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for these cash rewards.

For the first five months of 2011, your tips helped law enforcement to make 29 arrests, which allowed Crime Stoppers USVI to authorize over $14,000 of new rewards, mostly from tips received in 2009 and 2010. If you submitted a tip in the last 24 months, please check to see if you qualify for a reward.
