St. Thomas, V.I. – Yesterday afternoon, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers identified a wanted 43-year-old male, Halvor Hart having an outstanding warrant by Virgin Island authorities for various fraud related charges.
Hart arrived from St. Maarten on board a Liat Airlines flight and
presented himself for CBP inspection at the Cyril E. King Airport.
Once inspected, computer systems indicated a positive match to a
National Crime Information Center docket.
An outstanding warrant for Hart details charges by local authorities
for obtaining money under false pretense, reselling sold property, fraudulent
use of a credit card, receipt of money, goods, and services obtained by
fraudulent use of credit cards, principals, participating in fraud on creditors,
and embezzlement.
The subject was transferred by U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to the Virgin Islands Police Department and the V.I. Bureau of
Correction.
“Customs and Border Protection is an agency committed to securing our
borders while at the same time cooperating with other law enforcement agencies
in the enforcement of U.S. laws. CBP officers are always vigilant to detect
individuals that have broken our laws and attempt to defeat our justice system.”
said Marcelino Borges, director of field operations for Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency
within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control
and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of
entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the
country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
