Advisory
The Bermuda Police Service has noticed an increase in the number of stolen cycles which have been left unlocked as well as thefts from vehicles and homes which have been left insecure. For instance, individuals have left cars unlocked with the keys in them and doors and windows of homes insecure. Police are advising the public to decrease their chances of becoming a victim by locking and securing their homes and vehicles when leaving them unattended, even for short periods of time. In addition, valuables should not be left in vehicles or out in the open at home; ideally they should be secured in a safe. For more information on how to secure your home, click here.
