As Halloween approaches, the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) would like to remind the public that throwing eggs at vehicles, homes and businesses is potentially dangerous, as well as costly.

Patrol officers have already responded to alleged incidents, the latest reported to be during the day on Sunday, 20th October 2024, in the Middle Road, Riviera Road Southampton area.

The BPS reassures the community that its officers are prepared to use all lawful authority to deter and detect such acts of anti-social behaviour, with anyone caught engaging in egg throwing likely to be arrested.

To help prevent this irresponsible activity and the need for police involvement, parents and shopkeepers are encouraged to be on the lookout for individuals, especially young persons, attempting to purchase unusually large quantities of eggs.

As a reminder, residents and businesses can report any anti-social behaviour in their area by calling 211, or visiting the BPS online community reporting portal at https://portal.police.bm.
