No arrests have been made in connection with the recovery of three illegal firearms and 117 rounds of ammunition announced by police last month.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) confirmed the development while responding to questions from BVI Platinum News about whether anyone had been arrested in relation to the recoveries.
“No suspects were identified in these recoveries. No arrests were made; however, investigations continue,” the RVIPF Public Relations Department stated.
On August 7, police announced that officers had recovered a Glock pistol, one magazine and 17 rounds of 9mm ammunition, along with two high-powered rifles, three rifle magazines and 100 rounds of 5.56 calibre ammunition.
The items were recovered from the streets of the Territory during investigations into several incidents. Police did not disclose the locations or circumstances surrounding the recoveries.
The RVIPF previously said the weapons and ammunition had been secured and submitted for forensic examination.
At the time, the Force described the seizures as a significant disruption to the circulation of illegal firearms, stating that removing the weapons reduced the potential for serious violence.
