Minister Responds to Ag Show Email Rumours

Minister of the Environment and Sports the Hon. Glenn Blakeney today officially commented on the rumours circulating the island via e-mail concerning gang activity at the Annual Exhibition on Friday.

Minister Blakeney said:

There are many rumours circulating the island concerning planned gang activity at the Annual Exhibition. These rumours are unfounded and serve only to incite panic and fear in members of the public.

I have full confidence in the Bermuda Police Service as well as the security measures in place at the Annual Exhibition to ensure a safe environment for all.

I encourage everyone who wants to come to the Exhibition to come with their children and enjoy a family fun day and to not worry about the unsubstantiated claims being circulated island wide via e-mail.

Minister Blakeney also appealed to members of the public to stop forwarding e-mails that do not come from official sources – the Bermuda Police Service or the Bermuda Government.
