A St. Thomas man was arrested Wednesday in connection with the recovery of a stolen vehicle that had been tracked through a GPS system, the V.I. Police Department reported.

Police said the GPS later showed the vehicle stationary in the Nadir Hill area around 12:30 a.m. April 30, where it was recovered.
According to the police report, investigators identified Burton Fahie as the suspect during the investigation. Police said Fahie was apprehended Wednesday in the area of First Bank on Veterans Drive and transported to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Fahie was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, possession of stolen property and damage to vehicle. Bail was set at $27,500. Unable to post bail, Fahie was turned over to the Bureau of Corrections pending an advice of rights hearing, police said.
