Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

Crime Stoppers is asking your help to solve the following crimes. If you know something, say something. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: Sometime between 11 p.m. on Wednesday, June 16th and 6 a.m. the next day, vandals damaged eight vehicles belonging to Terminix in Peter’s Rest. It appears the suspect(s) used a pick axe from the back of one of the trucks to smash door windows and one windshield. Although nothing was stolen from any of the vehicles, extensive damage was done and the perpetrator(s) need to be brought to justice. The reward for an arrest is $1,000.

St. John: Dog fighting is cruel, inhumane, and a felony offense in our territory. Please help put a stop to this by providing us with the times and locations of the fights, and the names of the persons involved in this animal cruelty. The minimum reward for an arrest is $350.

St. Thomas: On Oct. 23, 2009 at about 10 pm in the area of Hospital Gade by Jarvis School, Oster Henry was struck by a light blue Jeep Liberty that left the scene and drove up towards Mafolie. Henry sustained serious injuries and died. Help police identify the driver of this vehicle. The minimum reward for an arrest is $900.

Community members can submit tips on these or any other crimes at www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your tips are completely anonymous, and the stateside operators are bilingual.

If a tip leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property, illegal drugs, or weapons, the tipster receives a cash reward to be paid according to their instructions. Only anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for these cash rewards.

Our technology makes it virtually impossible for anyone to trace your tip back to you. To learn how it works, visit www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org .
If you have an unsolved crime you would like Crime Stoppers to feature, send an e-mail to CrimeStoppersVI@gmail.com.
