Police Apprehend Omari Gordon

Superintendent Antoine Daniels & Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro - The Bermuda Police Service can confirm that fugitive Omari Gordon was apprehended at a Sandys parish residence earlier today. Mr. Gordon is suspected of committing a serious & reckless act by discharging a firearm in public during the early hours of Saturday, November 29th 2008, putting several lives at risk. Based on information received from the public, Police were able to locate Mr. Gordon, who is now in Police custody. It is believed that he was on the island the entire time, despite rumours he had fled overseas following the 2008 incident. A reward of up to $5,000 was offered for information leading to the arrest of Omari Gordon, which will now be honoured. The arrest of 27 year old Omari Gordon proves that positive results can occur when the community and Police work together.

Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
