‘Money Boys’ gang dismantled!

Acting Police Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool has declared that the “Money Boys” gang, a group linked to a series of burglaries and robberies across the BVI, has been dismantled.

While speaking on ZBVI radio on Tuesday, Vanterpool highlighted the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force’s (RVIPF) crime-fighting efforts over the past six months.

“We put in place a robust patrol team, both foot and mobile patrol. We also increased our armed response units,” she stated. “The Money Boys group has been dismantled. A number of criminal elements have been dismantled. Most of the members are in prison.”

Vanterpool credited the crackdown to increased police presence in known high-crime areas.

“All the hot spots are being covered 24/7 by our foot and mobile patrol, as well as our armed officers,” she explained. “For me, there was a group named the Money Boys, which were like a thorn in our flesh. And I’m happy to say that that group now is dismantled.”
