Advisory

Inspector Andy Morgan of the Bermuda Police Service would like to advise of a series of burglaries that have occurred recently in the eastern area. In each case, the residences have been unoccupied, but on some occasions left insecure. Small electrical goods such as iPods in addition to jewelry are mainly being taken. Residents are encouraged to secure their homes and put valuables out of sight. Inspector Morgan asks that anyone with information about these crimes is to contact the Eastern Criminal Investigation Unit at Southside Police Station on 293-2222 or if suspicious activity is seen, to call 911 immediately.

In addition, Crime Prevention Advice and guidance on starting a Neighborhood Watch scheme, is available from any Police Station or here.
