Police Seize Gun, Arrest 22-Yr-Old Man
The Police have confirmed that a 22-year-old man was arrested after officers located a gun this past Friday [June 24] during a search of a home in the Friswells Hill area.
A Police spokesman said, “The Bermuda Police Service can now report that officers seized a firearm during a search at a private residence in the Friswell’s Hill area of Pembroke on Friday afternoon, 24th June 2011.”
“A 22 year old Pembroke man was arrested in connection with the firearm which is a hand gun. No further information can be released at this time while police continue their enquiries, starting with a forensic examination of the firearm to establish whether it is linked to any previous crimes.”
“Anyone with information relating to this incident – or any firearm in Bermuda – is encouraged to call the Serious Crime Unit (SCU) on 295-0011 or the confidential Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477.”
This is the second time this month the Bermuda Police have seized a gun, following the arrest of four men and the recovery of firearm and ammunition in St George’s on June 5th.
Good work guys.
I’ll get excited after the 8 monthly arraignment sessions then trial then the realistic sentence.
Well done!! I am pleased!!!
Well done Bermuda Police , lets get the real criminals . Not little old ladys doing 51kph .
Less guns, less murders. This gun seizure could have saved a life, good job to the people involved.
I agree, 1 less off the street. Hopefully it is connected to something.. I hope he gets charged with anything connected to it or he better sing that song of PRICKING !!!
Great news !! Well done Bda. Police !!
Charge him for everything it is linked to and see what results you get!
Good work, but if this gun is connected to murders, will he get charged for them? Or like the others will those just simply get ignored like with other gun siezures??
The difference between the past gun seizure and this one is that there was only one person taken into custody. Therefore it will be easier to charge him for the murders the weapon is connected to. The other one there were a few guys.
Hat off!
Well done guys in blue! Now THIS is what I’m talking about!!
GREAT WORK WELL DONE KEEP AT IT YOU WILL CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!!!
Hopefully, this will result in more seizures/arrests and ultimately, convictions. A tall order, I know, but it’s a start. Good job BPS.
GREAT WORK!!!! Job Well Done Bda. Police!!
Glad to hear about this bust. I hope the Courts come down with full force on gun holders.
Well done BPS. Now, DPP and judges do the right thing please
well done…….that gun MAY be linked to a few murders!!!!!!! the more the better – off the street that is!!!!!!!
Well if the police continously say and want us to believe that there are only two or three guns on the island and they are being shared is it safe to say that with the seizure of this gun they now have them all (3)…and before anybody starts ranting remember it is the police that have on more than one occasion stated that there are only two to three…at any rate as luck would have it you have managed to get it off the street none the less…….
Good job Bda Police! Hope that people are starting to see the light that it doesn’t pay to harbour guns in your house or shelter thugs and criminals. Don’t take the payoffs of gifts like flat screen TVs just to keep your mouth shut. Do the right thing for the good of ALL of BERMUDA and TALK. Call Crimestoppers and lead the boys in Blue to more guns!
Thanks BPS!
Thank you to all who were responsible for catching this person with the gun. We’re on our way to cleaning the streets up and returning Bermuda to a crime free place.
I’m delighted to hear this news.
Having spoken to some serving Police officers it does sound like there are only a handful of illegal guns so this is fantastic.
Hopefully block parties can start up Friswells again that was the days and BPD big up u guys are doing ya jobs!We really need to chase the evil outa our streets pressure that 22 year old that the same age of the guys going up 4 Shane!They might be Buddy’s!
Well done BPS. Now let’s hope the DPPs office gets it right! Keep up the hard work….we thank you.
Great Job to the BPS…. It is great news to hear that another gun was taken off our streets. Hopefully something will come out of this (a conviction or one or more) .
@ Turning up the volume, I agree those were the fun days. I hope to have them back soon.
Pretty sure the police mean there are only a handful of guns on the street being used for murders
I’d guess that there are 100s of guns in bermuda but most are jus kept at home for protection by those that feel they need it like the big mons
well done! but i along with everyone else wants to know the individuals name and address so I know never to cross paths with them…name and shame! name and shame! name and shame!
For every gun caught mean there is 2 more being smuggled in. Supply and demand batches!!!!
