MOUNT HEALTHY, Tortola, VI- It was shortly before 10:00 PM last night, Thursday, September 25, 2025, at a birthday party in Mount Healthy on the main island of Tortola, when persons were robbed at gunpoint.

It is reported that 3 masked men with guns came and demanded gold.

The party was winding down when the masked men fired a shot as they were entering the building, according to persons who were at the event.

No one was hurt; however, persons were relieved of their gold chains and other items by the robbers.

The gunmen escaped in a red Kia Soul with private plates.

The police were called and the matter is said to be under investigation. They took statements from those who were reportedly robbed and they also looked for spent shells from the gun which was fired.

The brazen robbery comes as the Territory is in a four-day anti-crime summit, which is seeking to find ways to reduce crime.

      Time to ban rentals and sales of Kia souls on the Island. They are crime cars. Drive buys, robberies you name it. You will never catch me renting buying or driving a Kia soul. They are criminals cars.

        This is the dumbest statement to make . It’s not the vehicle is the individuals doing the crime. Imagine a person work so hard to start a company and some dirty bag come and take their car to do a crime . Someone on this island knows who it is . You see your friend ,neighbor or whomever driving and didn’t have it before and you know some of the individuals has not worked a day in their life . Come on use your heads . Deal with the issue at hand

        Any vehicle can be involved in a crime …and tbh they are no longer manufacturing Kia souls anyways . I guess I’m a criminal because I have one ….im literally just a girl????‍????and I bought one because that’s what I could have afford ????and they run well. Banning Kia souls isn’t going to stop crimes .they will just find another vehicle . I guess every vehicle will be banned everytime they start being frequently involved in a crime ????‍????stop being so small minded. Kia souls are not the problem the people are!

      Shots in the Night, Smoke in the Summit

      While leaders gathered in polished halls,
      trading words, rehearsed, rehearsed—
      three masked men stormed a birthday call,
      with iron in hand, and laughter cursed.

      A gunshot cracked through Mount Healthy air,
      not at the Summit, not in debate—
      but where chains were snatched and hearts turned bare,
      as criminals mocked the Territory’s fate.

      What weight has talk, when bullets sing?
      When a red Kia Soul is the getaway king?
      While the DPP stumbles with empty files,
      justice limps, and failure smiles.

      Enough of the chatter, the staged lament,
      while mothers and fathers live in torment.
      Harsh penalties must speak where leaders fail,
      swift and severe—no revolving jail.

      Seal the borders porous as sand,
      stop weapons bleeding into this land.
      Replace the DPP who cannot win,
      for justice delayed is a haven for sin.

      The robbers care not for summits grand,
      their verdict was fired by their own hand.
      Until law bites sharper than crime’s own blade,
      this fragile peace will rot, decayed.

    The anti-crime summit is a joke. The school children should be there listening; it's like something the Government put together just so they can say they're doing something. Every person who has failed at their job and has come forward is on the panel making excuses for their incompetence and lack of know-how.

        Ngl I was thinking about going women and going girls helping criminals as well. They don't get there hand involved in activity but they assist in the background from honey traps to just getting information on events or friends going be where at what time.

        We must push for an intervention on the young women and females of this country. A lot of them look innocent and dress nice for the occasion but are sleeping or entertaining some lowlife dudes who can't even spell without autocorrect. Some of them females got big job on government or private office spaces and look professional and don't seem to be the type to be sleeping with dudes with big chains or criminals but trust me a lot of them are... especially if they are the party type.


        Yea the statistics gonna show mostly males doing crime but those males are being assisted by females as well.

        So don't just come down hard on the males

        Come down hard on the females as well cuz as the song say "she luv badman" same song y'all got playing festival and jueve smh


        I won't be surprised that some of the women and young girls at the crime summit are sleeping or entertaining criminals as well. Them does play the right cards in the public eye but behind doors them with pure scummy dudes cuz them love that lifestyle.

      Utter nonsense you’re talking. Always some excuse and that is why things won’t change in this little place. When our foreparents were making practically nothing they didn’t turn to crime. Maybe it’s the negative that comes from you all mouths is why things are how they are.

      Real facts, no one random off the street is going to walk into a party and hold up the guests. It was someone that was at the party. I had a get together in August for 50 people and everyone had to leave their phones in a lock box by the door. Everyone comply. Once the get together was over everyone got back their phones. Can’t be to safe these days. People phones be crazy glue to their hands wherever they go

    Anyways a Kia soul mehson lololo

    Yes I agree banning them won't make sense cuz them will just pick another car


    But facts is facts 9x out of 10 you will find a criminal, wreckless driver, party girl, weed head , gunman, single irresponsible parent etc in a Kia soul.



    That's why I say avoid them . You're More likely to come across a bad character in those type of vehicles than a good one. Yes there's a few decent people who drive them like the elderly and some females who just wanna follow the hype.

    But once you see that car just know most times it's not decent person.

    If yah man or woman drives a Kia soul that's a red flag off the bat

    If yah girl tell you she wants a Kia soul that's a red flag

    Kia souls in bvi are like the equivalent of a bvi scooter riders

    Are all scooter riders bad? Nah but most times when you see them is the wreckless ones right? Same thing with miss


    Will never catch me in one. Imagine you rent a car mostly used by criminals and party women only to get shot up by mistake identify cuz a criminal rented that vehicle last or you Kia that you bought look similar to another shade character to them went after you by mistake. Not me I avoiding them cars. And them always mash up or on sale... them thing don't last like Honda or Toyota. So glad them discontinued

    If yah see a Kia soul parked in a parking lot don't park near them if us don't want yah car get knocked by "accident"
    If yah see one on the road driving let them go long them way don't drive near them. Most times them driving wreckless or slow cuz them on there phone. Slow drivers can cause accidents just as much as fast one. Ugliest car ever and bvi only got the fwd how is it even reliable in this bad road with hills territory? Wild.

    Somebody at the party definitely set this up.

    I bet is one of the party life / night life females who love to lay with criminals

    And seeing everyone had on jewelry just for a party...most attended probably weed heads, criminals, party people themselves... no decent person walking around with Gucci chain to a regular party. The same party people y'all liming with going festival, jueve, clubbing, drinking etc ain no good characters. If you attracted to that kinda life you definitely not decent person to be trusting. Most times that kinda lifestyle produces cheaters,single parent's, scandalous women, criminals, weed heads, pedos, etc

    It still baffles me that women would go and live that life or pick someone from that kinda lifestyle and expect marriage or not to be cheated on..only to end up a single mother of 4. Then the cycle repeats until you have a bunch of kids with no father figures either becoming a hoe like mommy or a criminal in the streets. Women are apart of the problem just as much as the men are.

    Do better
    Choose better

    And for the young adults who see ntn wrong with the current culture.. y'all got dress professional but when I check your other photos clear characteristics pop up for the type of people who enjoys that kinda hectic lifestyle. Big gold chains, dressing half naked, drinking, smoking, can't hold a stable relationship for more than 3rys, single parent, partying and nightlife. Y'all part of the problem!
