Crime Stoppers Asks for 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: Police ask for your help in identifying the person(s) responsible for the rash of burglaries that have plagued the residents of Estate Whim in recent weeks. Please report any unusual or suspicious activities, individuals or vehicles in your area. Be a nosey neighbor, look out for your neighbor’s wellbeing and remember the next house you save from being burglarized might be your own.

St. John: On June 14 at 11 p.m., a woman left her brown backpack in her vehicle at the Westin Resort parking lot area near the tennis courts. When she returned to her vehicle two hours later she discovered that her backpack was missing. The backpack contained a silver MacBook Pro, five checks payable to her and her wallet. The wallet was found and turned in to the resort with its contents intact.

St. Thomas: On April 9, police received several calls from concerned citizens about hearing shots fired and a vehicle driving into the bush in the area of Pillsbury Heights near the National Guard Armory. Upon arrival officers found 21-year-old Lincoln Lewis unresponsive in a red Suzuki Vitara. The victim had been shot several times. Help put an end to all of the senseless killings.

Tell us what you know about 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 of up to $2,500. The minimum reward for the arrest of a burglary suspect is $714 plus 10 percent of the value of any property recovered. For the arrest of a homicide suspect it is $1,500.

Only anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for these cash rewards.
