St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands – On Saturday, March 8, 2025, the Virgin Islands Police Department, in conjunction with the Offices of Senators Dwayne DeGraff and Franklin Johnson, conducted its Cash-For-Guns, gun buy back initiative program on the island of St. Croix at the St. Croix Agriculture Fair Grounds from 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
The St. Croix community turned in 27 firearms which included 4 shotguns. Pay outs were also given for ammunition (hundreds of rounds), a pellet-gun and a flare gun. Overall, over $5,500.00 was spent on acquiring these weapons and removing them from ever being on our streets, making our streets and community safer. The Virgin Islands Police Department thanks the St. Croix community for supporting this initiative and the sponsors that made this event possible.
The initiative continues on St. Thomas on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the Omar Brown Fire Station from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at the St. John Annex (Legislature Building) in Cruz Bay, St. John from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
