Police Acknowledge Supreme Court Sentencing in Roberts Case

Assistant Commissioner of Police David Mirfield - The Bermuda Police Service welcomes the Supreme Court’s sentencing of Victor Roberts, who admitted to importing a significant quantity of drugs and ammunition into Bermuda in 2011. The contraband was intercepted as a result of the ongoing partnership between law enforcement and partner agencies here and in the U.S.

The sentence of 20 years imprisonment should send a strong deterrent message to those engaged in the importation of drugs and firearms.


All incidents are under investigation. 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.
