Investigation Regarding Recent School Burglaries

The Bermuda Police Service is currently investigating 11 reported school burglaries in the last month, specifically from January 16th to date (February 13th).

The affected schools are:

CedarBridge Academy
Clearwater Middle School
Dame Marjorie Bean Hope Academy
Elliot Primary
Mount Saint Agnes Academy
Prospect Primary
Victor Scott Primary
West Pembroke Primary

Cash or electronic items were removed in seven instances – while it was unclear what, if anything, was taken in the remaining cases.

In addition, three of the school properties were targeted twice each.

So far, no arrests have been made in connection with these incidents. However, detectives are following all available lines of enquiry and continue to work with the Department of Education to provide relevant crime prevention advice.

With schools out on mid-term break later this week, members of the public can assist by reporting any suspicious activity, individuals or vehicles in the vicinity of any school premises – especially during the hours of darkness – to the main police telephone number 295-0011.


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.
