Two men were arrested Tuesday after police executing a search warrant on St. Croix recovered a firearm, ammunition, and a magazine, the V.I. Police Department reported.
The search followed a report on Aug. 11 from concerned citizens who told police they saw 33-year-old Raheem Louis and two other men entering and exiting his residence while armed with multiple firearms. Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Bureau investigated the complaint, according to the police report.
On Wednesday, officers with the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Special Operations Bureau executed the search warrant, leading to the arrest of Louis and 18-year-old Yomariez Davis, the police report stated.
Both men were charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession with intent to sell ammunition. Police said they were advised of their rights, booked, and held on $50,000 bail each. Unable to post bail, they were transported to the John Bell Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility, where they remain pending an advice of rights hearing scheduled for Thursday, in Superior Court, the report stated.
