WICKHAM'S CAY, Tortola, VI- The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has stated four persons have been brought in for questioning in relation to the armed robbery at the jewellery store, House of Luxury, in Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Police said preliminary reports indicate that several masked individuals entered the establishment armed with weapons and demanded valuables just after 2:00 PM.

The suspects fled the scene via a motor vessel with an undisclosed quantity of jewellery.

The motor vessel used was later recovered in the Kingston area.

"No serious injuries have been reported at this time, though staff and customers were left shaken by the incident, the RVIPF stated in a press release late Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

The RVIPF also said officers "responded promptly" and secured the area.

4 questioned

"Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department are actively pursuing leads into this matter.

"Four persons have since been brought in for questioning in relation to this investigation."

There was no mention of anyone being charged.

Commissioner of Police Richard Ullger stated, “This was a brazen act that endangered members of the public. We are dedicating all necessary resources to identify and apprehend those responsible. We urge anyone with information to come forward.”

The RVIPF is appealing to members of the public who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the vicinity of the Pier Park and in the Kingston area around the time of the incident to contact the Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or call the anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-8477 or 284-800-8477 from overseas.

Police said any information given will be treated with the "utmost confidence".

    Let's see what happens with these four.
    1. Pier park security is a joke. Mere parking attendants. They are not observant at all.
    2. Why can you even enter that area where the speed boat left from when there is no ship in port?

    This poor country ????. My people, some of ayo need to stop and think about your future action tha will haunt you in your sleep. Remember that the Bible says, that "He who rushes my patience and Faith shall be punished under my command, because he is not Worthy of my Righteousness and Mercy. For I am the Heavenly Almighty God ✨️." So it is cheaper to look for a job that is worth paying for, rather than to be causing abonamos trouble for the country.

    I’m sick of these young waste of time thugs. Persons that are found guilty of such brazen crimes should serve a minimum of 20 years in prison without parole. Our laws need to show that we are serious about punishing criminals.

    People are asking about security guards but there is no way that a person receiving minimum wage (if that) should be exepected to put their life in jeopardy to confront armed men. The reality is there needs to be a stronger police presence in Road Town AND specifically in the Pier Park. It's not like it should be hard to patrol but there OBVIOUSLY is a lot of commerce there so there is cash and expensive goods which thieves are attracted to. BVI Police Force - DO BETTER! Also to those quick to blame the new acting COP many of the long standing issues of under-policing are longstanding. The BVI Police BEEN slack. Under acting COP Jackie we saw a little bit of initiative - I hope that wasn't just for her sake, because the police need to act for the security of the Territory's people irrespective of who sits in the nicest air conditioned office. Finally really sorry for House of Luxury. I hope they find a way to be less attractive as a target.

    Questioning. Get the guns off the streets. There could have been drones to monitor them by security who don't engage. Policing & security are not proactive because town should be safe.

    I hope a thorough investigation is conducted on this matter. Please check all shoreline areas to determine which direction the vessel came from. Verify whether the individuals had mask on their faces while sailing through the harbor/ marina and review the Ports Authority camera both the western and eastern ends. This situation must be looked into carefully and resolved.

    Is that TikTok video real? Did they really record themselves modelling the tacky jewellery on th boat whilst showing their faces? If so, they may have a defence based on the fact that they are nations they cannot be held responsible for their actions.
