ST. CROIX — Four women were robbed at gunpoint in the wee hours of Sunday morning in the John F. Kennedy Housing Community, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson announced on Monday.
According to Jackson, at about 4:45 a.m. on Sunday, the 911 emergency call center received notification of a carjacking and immediately dispatched officers to the location. Upon their arrival, officers met with four women, the victims of the robbery, one of which was assaulted with the butt of a gun during the incident.
The women, friends, said they had just came from a local nightclub and were sitting outside on a sidewalk within the housing community at about 4:10 a.m. According to the report, the women stated that they were then approached by two masked men with guns, who proceeded to order them to the ground.
The perpetrators then searched the women, taking their gold chains, mobile phones, cash and the car key of one of the women; then drove off in the vehicle — a grey-colored 2014 Toyota Corolla (bearing dealer plates).
The women were unable to provide a description of the suspects.
Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Bureau are investigating the incident.
