Burglary Advisory - The Bermuda Police Service has noticed a recent increase in burglaries where high value electronic equipment is being taken. We continue to advise the public to remain vigilant regarding burglaries by making sure windows and doors are locked before leaving their homes unattended, even for short periods of time. In addition we are encouraging all residents to safely store their valuables out of sight, record serial numbers of all items especially electronic equipment and to take pictures of their possessions so that if they are stolen and later recovered, there is an accurate way of identifying them. Residents are also reminded to report any suspicious vehicles, activities or individuals in their neighbourhoods to Police on 295-0011 and that receiving stolen property is an offence punishable under the law.
