An unidentified female was arrested and later released on suspicion of money laundering on Tuesday, February 8.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) confirmed the arrest in a media release earlier today, stating that they executed an additional three search warrants and arrested a female on suspicion of money laundering yesterday as part of ongoing investigations into human trafficking in the territory.
The police said the female was subsequently released pending further investigations, adding that they can make no further comment on the matter.
The RVIPF also encouraged residents to contact Crimestoppers anonymously through its tipline 800 8477 or if overseas call 1-284-800-8477 if there is suspected human trafficking or you are a victim of this modern-day slavery.
Persons with information are also asked to call the RVIPF directly through its three-digit access number 311.
