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: On Saturday July 17, two apartments in the Harbor View housing community were burglarized. Police suspect juveniles are responsible for these and other burglaries in the area. The minimum cash reward for an arrest is $714 plus 10% of the value of any property recovered.
St. John: In the past few weeks, burglars have stolen tools, lumber, railings and other construction materials from several properties. Police believe that a large vehicle was used to remove the large items. The minimum cash reward for an arrest is $714 plus 10% of the value of any property recovered.
St. Thomas: Police are requesting your assistance in solving a shooting that occurred on Monday, July 26 around noon in the area of Nadir close to the food van, in which Samuel Cornelius was fatally shot. The minimum cash reward for an arrest is $1,250.
Please continue to help law enforcement make our territory a safer place to live, work and raise a family by telling us what you know about 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 multilingual. 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.
Crime Stoppers wishes to thank the 36 tipsters who provided valuable information to law enforcement during the month of July. Please keep the information coming as recent statistics on crime in the USVI indicate that you are making a positive difference. If you do not have information about an unsolved crime, you can still help in the fight against crime by visiting www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org and becoming a dues-paying member.
