Police Advisory to Berkeley, CedarBridge Students

The Bermuda Police Service is requesting that students from both Berkeley Institute and CedarBridge Academy go directly home after their exams today. We recognize both schools are now under an exam schedule and a number of students may not be in school; however we are acting in an abundance of caution after a number of reported fights between students from both schools apparently took place earlier today around the City of Hamilton. We believe this proactive step will curb any further incidents. Meanwhile the police Community Action Teams have been liaising with both schools to determine the best way forward for the rest of the school year.
