Residents Urged to be Proactive as Residential Burglaries Continue

The Bermuda Police Service continues to receive reports of residential burglaries with nine reported in the last 24 hours, six of those occurring in Paget.

The other parishes affected over the same period were Pembroke, Devonshire and Warwick with one reported burglary each.

The specific areas where homes were burgled include: 

• Highwood Lane, Paget
• Manor Hill, Paget
• Mission Lane, Paget
• South Road, Paget (two reported incidents)
• Stowe Hill, Paget
• Marsh Folly Road, Pembroke
• Tee Street, Devonshire
• Allspice Gardens, Warwick

Residents are urged to immediately report any suspicious activity seen in their neighbourhoods, in particular suspicious individuals and vehicles entering or leaving the area, to the main police telephone number 295-0011.

In addition before leaving their property unattended residents should secure all windows and doors as well as set the alarm system if one is already installed. 

Similarly, air conditioning units should be secured and it is recommended that all valuables are kept in a safe or safety deposit box if possible.

Residents are also strongly advised to take pictures of all their valuables and record serial numbers of any electronic goods in their home. In the event that such personal property is stolen and later recovered, these items can be more easily identified.
