St. Croix: On Feb. 13 about 8:50 a.m., Quisqueyana, a money transfer agency located west of the Jiffy Mart in the Bassin Triangle area, was robbed by an armed male. He forced his way in just as an employee had finished serving a customer and was closing the door.
Police believe the customer may have been an accomplice. The robber is light skinned, about 5-feet-9-inches tall, and was wearing a black hoodie and a gray mask. The possible dark-skinned male accomplice is also about 5-feet-9-inches tall, has long braids or dreadlocks, was wearing a white T-shirt and was clean shaven.

St. Thomas: On Feb. 8 about 10:45 p.m., an employee of Texas Pit BBQ was driving his car near the rear parking area of the business’ storage facility when two armed, masked individuals, wearing all black, pointed what appeared to be an AK-47 in his face and said "get out of the car, turn around, and walk."
He complied. The carjackers then drove away in an eastern direction with Texas Pit’s bank deposit, firing a single shot as they left.
