Commissioner of Police Mark Collins has announced that the next focus of law enforcement in the Virgin Islands will be rental vehicles with tinted windows. This decision comes after the observation that such vehicles are frequently present at serious incidents across the islands.
According to Commissioner Collins, there has been a noticeable pattern linking tinted rental vehicles to serious incidents in the Virgin Islands. While the specifics of these incidents were not detailed in the interview, the implication is clear: there is a growing concern about the use of these vehicles in potentially illicit activities.
The specifics of this clampdown were not detailed during the interview, but it can be inferred that there will be increased scrutiny of such vehicles.
While this move is aimed at increasing safety and reducing crime, it could have implications for rental companies and their customers. Rental vehicles with tinted windows are often the option for local customers and tourists who want a bit more privacy.
