St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands – On November 7, 2025, at approximately 9:00 p.m., units were dispatched to The Palms at Pelican Cove, Christiansted in reference to an attempted robbery.
Upon arrival contact was made with the victims, who stated that while parking their rental vehicle near their hotel room building, two males approached them with firearms demanding their car key. One of the victims stated that the two suspects got into the rental vehicle and noticed that it was equipped with a GPS tracking monitor, so the suspects immediately came out of the rental and fled with the rental vehicle key in a white Toyota Venza bearing license plate CIM-586 with possibly two other suspects.
The victim stated that she could not fully describe the suspects because they wore masks and dark clothing but she described one of the suspects as a tall dark skin male, possibly with dreadlock and described the firearm as a black handgun.
