The landlord found out Mr. Fredericks was wanted for murder and proceeded to report him to the police department in the area.

He will be extradited to the territory to face charges.<\/p>\n<p>The V.I.P.D. says it will continue using the N.C.I.C. system to bring criminals at home and abroad to justice. The force also stressed the important role the community plays in arresting perpetrators of crime.<\/p>\n<p>The Criminal Investigation Bureau (C.I.B) and the Homicide Task Force are actively investigating all territory-related cases, according to the release. They are asking for the community\u2019s support in bringing criminals to justice by making available information to\u00a0the St. Thomas PD at (340)774-2211 or C.I.B. at (340)714-9807.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you believe that your tip may lead to an arrest and would like a monetary reward (tipsters have been paid up to $5,000), then share your tip with <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.p3tips.com\/TipForm.aspx?ID=737&amp;DSID=737\" target=\"_blank\">Crime Stoppers USVI<\/a><\/span>, where your information remains anonymous.
