It appears that the recent burglaries in the Mount Hill, Mount Langton Crescent Pembroke area and the Friswells Road, Devonshire area may be linked and a sole culprit may be responsible. We believe this same culprit may also be responsible for the recent burglary of a Pembroke guest property where a visitor was slightly injured after confronting an intruder in his guest room.

The suspect is believed to be a light skinned male, approximately 5’9” - 6’ tall of slim build. He may be in his late teens or early 20s.

Despite recent reported burglaries involving an intruder or intruders entering occupied homes, the majority of burglaries reported to Police involve unoccupied homes.

Police officers have been actively working to put the offenders before the court. Currently a 27 year old man is facing burglary charges relating to two Pembroke guest properties while a 17 year old man faces an attempted burglary charge relating to a Warwick residence. In addition a 43 year old man has also appeared in court recently to face attempted burglary charges relating to two Devonshire residences.

The Bermuda Police Service continues to advise the public to remain vigilant regarding burglaries. All residents should make sure windows and doors are locked before leaving their homes unattended, even for short periods of time. Also, before retiring to bed at night all windows & doors should be locked with any valuables secured out of sight. For more detailed crime prevention advice please click here.
