The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) confirms that two prisoners, Jose Almestica and John Burgos, have escaped from His Majesty’s Prison after being discovered missing after 9:00 p.m. tonight. An active search is now underway across the Territory.

John Burgos is on remand for conspiracy to murder Kadeem Jimenez in 2022. Jose Amestica was found guilty in July of possessing cocaine and marijuana for distribution, unlawful possession of prohibited firearms, and explosive material. It is the second time Almestica is escaping prison. He escaped after Hurricane Irma in 2017, and was on the run for four (4) years. He was recaptured in 2021.

The RVIPF is seeking the public’s assistance in locating both men. Residents are strongly advised not to approach either individual, but to contact Police immediately at 368-9339, 311, or Crimestoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS).

Further details will be shared as they become available.

Y’all couldn’t even find small Brent. Good luck finding this guy in this criminal community that love to hide criminals then talk bad the police. Clown community.Women hiding gunman and drug man and even going as far has holding guns and drugs for their illiterate boyfriends cuz “she luv bad man”only to get cheated on, end up a single mother, unmarried, or get STDs. The same women you see dress up nice and professional in office spaces, government, beauty pageant etc. some real nasty women don’t mind the pretty face and body them laying some nasty dogs you won’t touch a stick with and have the logical thinking of a toddler. Once you realise that they don’t seem so attractive no more just feel petty for them.But anyways y’all need overhaul that prison. Big 2025 and we still got fences and wooden doors can we get an increase on the prison budget instead of pay raises for politicians again thnx
