ST. CROIX — Twelve men entered the home of a man who lives in Estate Grove Place last Friday and proceeded to beat the victim repeatedly, punching him about the body and also using the butt of a gun to assault the man after finding no money in his house, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson has announced.
According to the claimant, last Thursday afternoon he entered his Estate Grove Place residence at 3:00 p.m. and was approached by several men unknown to him. The men struck the victim on his head with the butt of a gun and ordered him into the house. As he complied with the men and entered the home, he discovered that there were seven men already inside of the home, while five others stayed outside.
The claimant stated that two of the men, both of them brandishing guns, sat him in a chair and stood on either side of him as they demanded money, threatened to shoot him and ransacked the home.
Not finding any money in the house or on his person, the men took the victim’s mobile phone and before leaving the house, gun-butted and punched him repeatedly about his body.
The claimant was unable to provide a description of his assailants and didn’t immediately file a report with the police or seek medical attention due to being in severe pain after the ordeal.
The incident is under investigation by detectives with the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
