RVIPF warns of Money Boys gang on Tortola
In a press release today, Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the RVIPF said the gang consists of about 25 young men ranging in ages from 17 to 25 years old from various communities across the Territory.
Allegedly armed & dangerous
The RVIPF also revealed that members of Money Boys are “reportedly in possession of unlicenced firearms and have been linked to multiple violent incidents, including a shooting on Friday, November 8, 2024, in Long Bush, which resulted in life-threatening injuries to a male victim”.
Money Boys is also alleged to be involved in a range of other criminal activities including robberies, thefts, burglaries among other crimes.
Members of Money Boys frequent several areas across Tortola, including Purcell Estate, Free Bottom, Baughers Bay, Road Town, Huntums Ghut, Greenland, and Long Look.
Community cooperation needed
Meanwhile, Detective Chief Inspector Kenrick Davis of the RVIPF urged the members of the various communities to support the RVIPF’s efforts. “It is vital that we work together to remove this threat to peace and safety in our neighbourhoods. The safety of our young people and our community as a whole depends on everyone’s commitment to saying NO to violence and criminal behaviour.”
Over recent months, the RVIPF has intensified efforts to curb the gang’s activities. This has led to multiple arrests, firearm and ammunition seizures, and the recovery of stolen goods found within vehicles and addresses associated with gang members.
Despite the progress made in reducing the gang’s influence, the RVIPF revealed that certain members of MB have evaded detection, partly due to community members who may be complicit or passive in response to gang activity in their neighbourhoods.
Anyone who wishes to provide information about this matter can confidentially call the RVIPF’s Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS) or overseas call 1-284-800-8477.

when malone and frazer ran things the enforcement of the laws of our land were well executed: road blocks, stop and search
poor enforcement of laws will become harmful for the residents because the peaceful people will become vulnerable to criminals and that is Wrong
24 Square Mile and lawlessness out of control: high day and the criminal elements letting off gun shots
what will you do; simply out with your family minding your own business and your child end up in hospital or funeral home
Post up their names & petition the law makers to pass a law to round them up.
The businesses bring people here to work and pay them minimum wage. While this may be good for business, it creates a bigger social problem down the road. The minimum wage earners will have children. Raising children on minimum wage in a society where everyone wants to live like they are wealthy, creates an environment where persons see crime as a means to keep up with the Jones’. In addition many of those persons live in sub-standard accommodation due to affordability, plus they are away from their children for long periods of time trying to make a dollar. Eventually, the street raises those children and they form groups (gangs) for support, to make up for the lack of family structure.
