Press Conference: Policing For Halloween

Thu, 2011-10-27

Commissioner of Police Michael DeSilva - Good afternoon. I have called this press conference today to advise the public on the proactive policing and enforcement measures the Bermuda Police Service will be taking this weekend in the lead-up to Halloween on Monday. I thought it was important for me to make a public address because there is likely to be some fear in the community arising from the shooting that occurred in Warwick on Monday night, and the four shootings that were reported during the first week of October.

Let me start with a very brief update on the progress of the shootings. You may be aware that we arrested three men in connection with the injury shooting at a North Shore night club on the 8th October: two men have been charged and are remanded in custody. Yesterday we arrested three more people: two men were arrested in connection with Monday’s injury shooting; and one man was arrested in connection with the shooting incident at the South Roundabout on 5th October. That now brings the total number of arrests to nine in connection with these five incidents.
