Howard Hughes charged for allegedly burglarising Pusser’s
One man is in custody as police investigate a burglary committed on Pusser’s Co. Store and Pub located in the heart of Road Town, Tortola.
According to our well-placed sources, the prominent food and beverage establishment was broken into sometime between the night of Saturday, April 11 and the early morning of Sunday, April 12, 2020.
The owners of the business were allegedly alerted to persons fetching cases of beers and selling in the ‘Ghetto’ and summoned the manager of the business to check on the establishment.
When checks were made it was discovered that a back gate, as well as a door that leads to the wine storage, had been pried open.
It was then discovered that a quantity of drinks was missing.
Acting on certain information late yesterday afternoon, April 12, 2020, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) arrested a 50-year-old man on suspicion of burglarising the business place and breaking of the curfew.
Theft on Main Street

some of them hooked on the crack and the cocaine so them out and about committing crimes to support the dope habit.....
. After that... nobody playing....
I say all of this to say, Matthew and people like him are likely to do harm to people especially since he is an addict. Even when Matthew 'good', he still a good thief/burglarer and that's all before this lockdown. Me, I would never come near an addict, knowing that they have that kind of disease, people like him are often spontaneously volatile and are habitual thieves. If he had glass beer bottles in his possession it a knife, dont you think he would have used that on them (officers) if they came near him? Nah, I wouldnt come near Matthew willingly. I know when a lot of you see him on the road, you dont even want to be on the same sidewalk space as him. My experience in the village will not allow him to even get a chance too.
Not too long ago, there were some video release of Matthew's home on Main Street. Whilst Irmaria upended a lot of homes and made some furniture, lumber and other items accessible for Matthew's new home, Matthew did thieve some of those items from people property, some of which was either stored for use or currently in use.
Even though Matthew was several grades ahead of me, I remembered how he was one of the cute guys in school. And Merlin, poor Merlin...these guys were well dressed, popular, the ladies loved them...but they loved the drugs even more. It's sad, addiction is no joke.
couple of years in prison
What a disappointment.
The HOWARD HUGHES must be rolling in his graves.
spooks would have said those very words
so is Mathew Hart and the other guy from Long Look,they all have criminal convictions in a court of law.
but here you had some situations,when the police had to tase these criminal,who,according to local laws and international laws were suppose to be indoor,but instead they went outdoors,like lions looking for prey,but you hypocrites curse the police, for a little touch-up of tase.
for many years,we support criminality in the bvi,because most of the police officers are ilanman-expatriates.
once its a local boy as the criminal,we support them over the police.
that is one of the reason crime will always put us in fear in the bvi.
police officers,dont be discouraged by haters of police and by those who hate your cop because he is Whiteman from the uk
when you see these thieves on the road during lockdown,dont shoot to kill,if there is no imminent threat to life.dont shoot to kill..
but tase dem aaaasss, tase dem aaasss.
that's my advice to the police
TASE DEM asssssssssssssssss OFF THE STREET.
one love
