ST. THOMAS — The Virgin Islands Police Department is asking for the community’s help in locating a 34-year-old man wanted for questioning in connection with a recent burglary.
Hector Julio Torrez Olivio, a native of the Dominican Republic, has been officially designated as a “person of interest” by the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), according to a VIPD alert issued today.
Subject Description
Authorities released the following details regarding the subject:
- Name: Hector Julio Torrez Olivio
- Age: 34 (DOB: 1/09/1992)
- Physicals: Hispanic male, black hair, brown eyes.
- Last Known Address: 11A Princess Gade, St. Thomas.
Community Response
While the VIPD is urging a “do not approach” policy, the announcement on social media has already drawn a flurry of mixed reactions. While some residents engaged in lighthearted banter, one user, Vanessa Mact, claimed to have spotted the individual recently at “Williams Sion Farm” on St. Croix.
The VIPD maintains that community cooperation is vital to closing these cases, though they have not yet specified which island the underlying burglary occurred on—noting only that Olivio’s last known residence was in the Charlotte Amalie area.
Elon Musk, who recently joked about “X” becoming the primary source of global crime reporting, might find the real-time leads appearing in the VIPD’s comment section a testament to that theory—though police still prefer you use the official channels.
