Alternatively, we encourage you to share the information with a police officer you’re comfortable speaking with or, via the community reporting portal at https://portal.police.bm.
Update: Detective Chief Inspector Derricka Burns stated, “This is the second such report we’ve attended this week. Bermuda is a small, close knit community and we are confident there are individuals who may have knowledge of who is behind the incidents or, have information that can assist in progressing out investigations and bringing whomever is responsible, to justice. We are asking that you come forward and provide us that information.”
“Thankfully, there were no injuries sustained, or worse, in either of these incidents, but that is of little comfort knowing there are individuals at large who are seemingly willing to threaten the lives of others by engaging in this kind of criminal behaviour.”
“If you reside in or near the Clarence Dale Road community, Pembroke and have security cameras installed, we are appealing to you to check these devices for any suspicious persons or unusual activity which may have been captured between 9:00 and 9:30 last night, Thursday, February 6 and get in contact with Detective Sergeant Wilkinson.”
