‘Cup Match One Of The Safest In Recent Years’

August 5, 2013

The Bermuda Police Service said they are “happy to report that this Cup Match holiday weekend can go down on record as one of the safest we have seen in recent years.

“This is particularly encouraging as many of the venues over the period saw crowds of thousands over land and water,” said a police spokesperson.

“We would like to thank our community partners, as well as every member of the public who acted in a responsible manner. Whilst we are encouraged by the actions of most, it was not incident free.

“There were a few reported thefts of personal items at Horseshoe Bay beach on Wednesday, July 31st resulting in two arrests; a minor altercation outside St. George’s Cricket Club grounds at the end of the game on Friday, August 2nd resulting in three arrests and an alleged bottle throwing incident at the end of the Non-Mariners Race on Sunday, August 4th.

“The alleged bottle throwing incident was promptly dealt with by Marine Unit personnel already in the area monitoring the Non-Mariners Race. There were no reported injuries and inquiries are ongoing.

“Despite these incidents, we would like to thank the community at large for their compliance over the Cup Match holiday weekend.”

    • Thunder Man says:

      you have an ID ten T problem Marge, which I am sure you will not be able to figure out. I saw the Minister today driving 2 trash trucks, at once, to help with the clean up. In fact he also had no crew on the back of the trucks either, and managed to do everything by himself, with no fear of being struck by lightening, although I hear that he nearly got hit by Thunder in the height of the storm this morning and had to pull over for a few minutes as the thunder rolled by.

    • Themiddleman says:

      please explain how a little bit of rain is “unsafe”… i knw there was thunder today but come on…. any day there is rain… NO TRASH PICKUP… I know many bermudians who are unemployed that would be willing to go out and pickup trash if it is raining.

      • Thunder Man says:

        Um, actually the Thunder is quite harmless. Guess you never worked on the back of a truck in a lightening storm before

  4. Really? says:

    well someone stole my beer at non-mariners. I demand you retract this article

  5. Cavello Bay says:

    @terry since u read my comment, I was just in the east coast while i was there they had some bad weather lightning, thundering ect… anyways what was the trash truck workers doing!? YOUR guess is mine!

  6. J says:

    “Alleged” bottle throwing? Yes, there WAS bottle throwing and the marine police barely handled it. SMH.

    • tricks are for kids says:

      Exactly…don’t down play bottle throwing incident….totally out of order and driving your craft through crowd’s of people to get closer to continue throwing bottles. ..same lame ass#$ from last year…smh…no need for much investigation …police know exactly who they are. ..smh..
