TRELLIS BAY, Beef Island, VI- It was sometime after 9:10 PM, Saturday, November 16, 2024, on a ferry filled with passengers leaving from Trellis Bay to Virgin Gorda that members of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) carried out a sting operation.

The ferry included basketball players and fans travelling to the annual Summer Jam Basketball League and others going to Virgin Gorda for entertainment.

According to three eyewitnesses, who spoke to our news centre on condition of anonymity, police seemed to be hiding out on the same vessel and moved to arrest the two men. The nationality and names of the two men are unknown at this time.

However, it's alleged that the two men arrested were wanted in connection with alleged burglary and assisting a local gang. 

Sources close to the arrest told our news centre that a gun with ammo was found on one of the men arrested.

They were arrested while onboard and taken off the boat in Virgin Gorda where other police officers were on the dock waiting.

We will bring more details of this arrest and if any charges are laid against the two men.

    Wow! The police are on a mini role in getting couple of weapons off the streets. Maybe they now need to expand on their ceasure by conducting some house searches of some of those gang members and associates. Keep up the pressure

      Can’t do that without a warrant and to get a warrant you need some kind of proof

    You hard headed people there are under cover cops everywhere on the Island and the Sister Islands. Those two made the mistake of thinking they were going to get to VG without a hitch. Little did they know they were being watch and tailed from Trellis Bay. The one with the loaded gun and ammunition could have opened fire on the innocent PASSANGERS.

      A lot of people may not be in agreement however, perhaps serious consideration should be put in place for all passengers should be scanned or pass through a hand held metal detector before boarding the ferry to any of the other sister Islands back and forth. It always ends up where innocent people always end up getting hurt. Public safety is the number one priority

    Please post pictures, if the public see pictures the police will get more assistance in helping to bring down the gang that is infesting the Island with crime. I was on the ferry and it makes me shudder to know that someone with a loaded gun and ammo was sitting among innocent people. I have a feeling this was not these two first rodeo but they got snatched up this time. Let’s see if they are going to give them bail and a slap on the wrist.

    Good Job, RVIP! Too much criticism aimed towards this guys who put their life on the line to keep at least one more gun off the street and identifying two more thugs. Show us pictures.
