Crime Stoppers Pays; Crimes Doesn't

Crime Stoppers pays. Let’s make sure that crime doesn’t pay. If you know something, say something as law enforcement cannot control crime without the help of the law abiding community.

St. Croix: On Nov. 18 about 2:30 p.m., a 42-year-old male was shot and killed in the vicinity of the Vincent Mason Pool in Frederiksted. The victim, Sgt. David Francois, a member of the Virgin Islands National Guard, was on an outing with his wife when an unknown person or persons took his life. If you were in the area of the pool or Target Wall Beach area and heard gunshots or saw anyone in the area at the time of the shooting incident, please let us know.

St. John: On Nov. 6, police received a report that parts had been removed from a 2000 white GMC truck. This theft occurred in the area of Susannaberg. The entire dashboard and several parts of the engine were removed. The owner last saw his vehicle intact on Sept. 27. Please tell us what you know about this theft.

St. Thomas: On Nov. 16 at 1 a.m., two Spanish speaking men left a bar and walked in the area of Garden Street when two armed, masked men approached them. They pointed guns at the men and said something in English, which they were unable to understand. The robbers tried to grab one of the victim’s bag but couldn’t because the two men took off running. The robbers then shot at them, injuring both. Help police identify and arrest these criminals before they kill someone.
