ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – A man caught with a stolen cellular phone is now on remand not only for the theft but for landing in the territory without leave from immigration and giving police false information.

He is also wanted in St Vincent and the Grenadies for a series of burglaries.

Kareem Nathaniel Abbott, 18, appeared before the Magistrate over a week ago and was remanded after he pleaded guilty to all charges. He claimed to have come to the Territory aboard a yacht which landed near Village Cay on Christmas Day. He also claimed that the yacht has since left the territory.

The RVIPF made the necessary inquiries and found that Abbott is wanted by the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force in connection with a series of burglaries committed on that island.

Local authorities will be seeking his deportation.

    This person was arrested for stealing he said he came in on a yacht and the yacht left the island why they let him out with out finding out how he really get in the country. This is alarming to me because this just shows how illegal things can come in with all what is going on in the world I think the immigration should be more aggressive at all the ports of entry .It is time to crack down on these criminals who is coming to our shores .Lets say he had rob a tourist we depend on our tourists coming here we can not allowed things like this to go on .

    the operators of that yacht should also be charged ( the department of customs & immigration should have some record relating to the entry of that yacht into the BVI)
