    Anyone wearing a hoodie should be stopped, why would any who has nothing to hide be wearing a hoodie in this heat?

    need to be found and put in a jail cell. They think they can get thru life robbing people of their hard earn money? I got news for them. The crime spree will end one day. It so irritating looking at that picture with them brandishing a weapon at that lady. Someone who know these criminals or have a clue who lthey may be, needs to help the police get them off the streets.

    with these wannabe gansters , whenever they manage to catch them / castrate them should be the first thing and their age should be the amount of years that these " force ripe bad boyz would be on vacation up " balo " and putting that info in the news as a friendly warning , would send a strong messege to whoever wants to try that sh*t . They getting too brazen - too macho , too comfortable , its time to turn up the heat on ( the lady who had owned a gas station was robbed and killed in her home by her front door by some young punks like those , whom she in the goodness of her heart , had offered one of the his first job and the only thanks , and appreciation was to orchestrate the robbery which resulted in her death wasn't that a wake wake call ?

    Wud like to say that, once they have weapons; they feel that their in control over everything instead of their knowledge. Stop the crime, and get a job during this hard time!

    When Vybz Kartel was invited here, was he wearing hoodie? The youths are encouraged to romanticize criminals and emulate them, and we paid $250,000.00usd to mold the younger generation into criminals.

    Stores cannot have any big set of cash in the register when most transactions are card based. Why risk somebody life for a small score?

    They will just get released or case thrown out even if they do get caught. Tortola is not a real place. Nobody serious about crime. Zero consequences in this place.
