Gunmen Storm House of Luxury Again
Gunmen reportedly entered the House of Luxury at Pier Park and shots were fired during a robbery that occurred around 3:30 PM. It is not yet clear whether anyone was injured; the scene is under investigation and the incident follows a similar robbery at the same store on December 2, 2025.
Our News Centre was told that gunmen stormed the House of Luxury at Pier Park and that shots were fired during the robbery, which took place at approximately 3:30 PM. Authorities have not confirmed whether anyone was injured, and details remain limited as investigators work to establish a timeline and motive.
The incident has alarmed residents and business owners because it mirrors a robbery of a similar nature that took place at the same store on December 2, 2025. That earlier incident heightened concerns about security in popular shopping areas, and this repeat event renews fears about public safety in and around Pier Park, a well-known retail area in Road Town frequented by locals and visitors alike.
At this stage, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has not released an official statement to the public, and our requests for comment are ongoing. Eyewitness accounts to this newsroom indicated that the incident was violent, but they offered differing details, including the number of suspects and whether shots struck anyone.
We will update this report when police provide an official briefing or when reliable medical confirmations are available. Local business owners told reporters they remain worried about repeated criminal incidents targeting retail outlets. Several merchants in Pier Park have increased security measures since the December incident, and some have considered temporarily modifying opening hours or reviewing alarm and camera systems while investigations continue.
Residents and visitors are urged to avoid the immediate area while authorities conduct their inquiries and to follow any instructions from law enforcement. Anyone who witnessed the robbery or has relevant CCTV or dash-cam footage is asked to contact the RVIPF to assist with the investigation.
Tips can also be shared with our newsroom for follow-up reporting. This story is developing, and we will provide further information as it becomes available from police and emergency services. In the meantime, community leaders and business associations may consider convening to discuss coordinated safety measures for shopping districts and to press for any additional policing resources needed to reassure the public and protect local commerce.
