Police Aware of Concerning Image Circulating on Social Media

The Bermuda Police Service is aware of an image that is circulating depicting two males in dark helmets carrying what appears to be firearms outside a private residence.

Acting Superintendent Peter Stableford said,

“The image is extremely concerning and potentially represents a serious risk to the personal safety of persons potentially being targeted by those observed in the video images. The BPS are conducting investigations into this matter to identify the individuals and to prevent any further escalation. The image is believed to have been taken last night and should not be circulated as it could potentially create and/or increase fear within our community, as well as undermine the police investigation into what happened. Although the BPS are encouraging persons to desist from sharing the footage any further we are seeking assistance from those persons who have actually viewed the image and can provide any specific information whether or not you believe it to be significant. 

Persons are encouraged to call the police on 211, the Serious Crime unit on 247-1439, the confidential Crime Stoppers hot line on 800-8477, or me personally on 717-2286, it will be treated in absolute confidence.”


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.
