The Bermuda Police Service continues to encourage the public to report any suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods, following recent reported burglaries in Devonshire, Pembroke and Paget.

The public is reminded to remain vigilant, making sure all windows and doors are locked before leaving their homes unoccupied, even for short periods of time.

Residents are also advised to secure their valuables out of sight, record serial numbers of all personal property and take pictures of their possessions - in particular electronic items and jewellery - so that if they are stolen and later recovered, there is an accurate way of identifying them.
