They have some young immature, rookie guys on the Customs boat and all them fool parked the boat and forgot to put back the plug so the water got in.
They should be held responsible for negligence, not the Government and they all need to pay for whatever repairs has to be done.
Police responsible for the enforcement of law and order but the commissioner of police saw it fit to shoot a video making this territory looks as the drug capital of the world

How easy would it be to just hire a mechanic? These marine customs/police more interested in wearing they bad ass black riding pants and peacocking around in the fancy boats. Pretty sure they would have no idea what end of a wrench to hold. Marine police/customs like tips on a bull in the BVI.
How about enforcement of marine safety?
