Advisory

The Bermuda Police Service continues to advise the public to remain vigilant regarding burglaries. Residents should make sure all windows and doors are locked if their home is left unattended, even for a short period of time. In addition after Christmas, avoid leaving boxes outside for trash pick up as this tells the thief if you got a new computer or TV. Dispose of the boxes carefully by concealing them in trash bags. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activities or individuals in their neighbourhoods to Police on 295-0011.
