HARRIGAN’S ESTATE, Tortola, VI- An alleged armed robber was shot by police following a robbery on a home at Harrigan’s Estate this afternoon, December 2, 2024.

According to reports reaching our news centre, four armed men entered the home at Harrigan’s Estate and made off with a few items.

Police responded promptly to the reports of the armed robbery and were on their way to the home when the gunmen, in their escape bid, ended up taking the same route the police were on.

Reports are that the robbers fired at police while abandoning their vehicle; however, one of them was shot as police returned fire.

One person is reportedly in custody.

A blood-stained vehicle was noticed at the scene of the shootout.

More details to follow.

    Yes Yes. Standing ovation, give that man a raise. Job well done. Give him the maximum sentence, only a little leniency if he plan to snitch out all accomplices. Job well done officer.

      I like this kind of Justice whefe the Police Gun is the Judge and their bullets are the Jurors, that's the only how the state is going to win a case. The state always lose in an actual court room...Time for Gun men, robbers and murders to face Street court justice and quit their foolish ways.

    To all the medical facilities: please keep an eye on your staff and ensure that all medicines and their usage are accounted for. Police just need to keep a vigilant watch where necessary. These savages must be driven out to the surface - to seek help and be apprehended.

      True, the one that got hit and left blood in the vehicle is somewhere seeking medical help. Anyone assisting should be charged and locked up. He may as well turn himself in because you can’t get far or survive with a bullet wound and bleeding.

    You parent or guardian need to tell your spawns that is out hear breaking into people homes and bold enough to fire on the police next time the police is going to gun them down. The blood in the car means one of the other ones got hit and is some where trying to dig out the bullet. He is going to have to seek medical help or die where ever he is hiding out. Don’t want to hear no BS about ohhhh my boy is a good child and the police shoot he. Good boys don’t invade people homes and shoot at the police.

    I already have my trap set in my home for the hoodlums. They might make it in alive but they will leave my home in a zip lock bag. I am going to protect my home at any cost.

      It is so scary to know that they are invading peoples homes. If they invade your home with guns they are going to shoot whoever is in the home.Citizens do what you have to do to protect your homes. I agree, they are going to start targeting people with nice homes and expensive vehicles. I work to damn hard the legal way for what I have and I am going to protect what I have from these little Parasites that is reeking havoc on the Island.Police, do what you have to do and take them out one by one.

    If there is blood in the car that identity is already known. Finger prints probably in the car. It is only a matter of time.

    They need to stop their crap once you go in people home it is a different story but the criminals are a different breed today. Before they used to do their evil at night now is high day people getting shot. If they know what is good for them they would have picked another area but they dont know what is good for them just a bunch of punks swimming in a school thinking they are a shark.
