“Number Of Bermudians” Detained In Canada
What the police termed a “number of Bermudians” have been detained in Toronto, Canada after Canadian Authorities became suspicious of people onboard a West Jet flight heading to Bermuda.
A Bermuda police spokesperson said, “As a result of Canadian Authorities becoming suspicious of a number of persons onboard a West Jet Airlines departing from Toronto for Bermuda, a number of Bermudians have been detained by the Canadian Authorities and the BPS is liaising with the relevant law enforcement agencies on the matter.”
Did anyone think that maybe there were a bunch of students coming home… of course we don’t know all the information, but it is that time of year…
Im sure they didn’t look at the manifest and say “wow there sure is a lot of Bermudian people going to Bermuda… this is suspicious!” Hahahahahaha DOPE
Maybe this has something to do with CCC, all de fuss about CCC being associated with corrupt sub-contractors expect some backlash.
I almost think that you would truly believe that.
What does CCC stand for?
It’s Kunta’s name written three times.
Why would Canadian authorities target 11 students? And it is a little early for a Christmas break.
been there, Fall break for Canadian schools was a month (or more) ago, Canadian Thanksgiving was in October, and students won’t be coming home for Xmas until after exams which, for most of them, will be three weeks away so that guess doesn’t wash.
it is that time of year. Im in school in Canada and will be coming home this week. So why is that reason not an option
You’re the exception. For most schools exams are just starting.
Really because they are students they must be bringing in drugs that’s an insult to a lot of young people who are doing exactly what they should be doing ……….getting an education so they can be a productive citizen …….and yes I am the proud parent of 2 University students….
Why are they coming home now if they are students? As the poster above you said it’s not Thanksgiving, I know because I flew up for Canadian Thanksgiving and flew home just in time for Gonzalo. As they also pointed out exams aren’t over yet so it isn’t Christmas break, students shouldn’t be coming home for another 2 weeks and in some cases 3. I booked my girlfriend’s flight last month her last exam is the 18th.
Something is amiss!!! The Canadian authorities are 99% on top of their game!!
They would’ve came back last week.
Um Canadian Thanksgiving was in October. Canadian schools don’t close for the American Thanksgiving holiday.
to all the above fools that ran with the idea these were students,READ the article instead of being a sheep like most Bermudians are these days..
READ IT before you comment
Until we do something to reduce the economic incentive we shall see more of the same. Government needs to step in and get that money reducing our debt with the money drugs generate.
Where did the article say anything about drugs?
There’s an economic incentive to rob banks, but most people go their whole lives without even considering it.
I don’t care if they legalize drugs or not….but let’s not kid ourselves…These people trying to import and sell are criminals. ..they have no desire to obtain real work…legalizing drugs and taking away their profits will only change their direction to other illegal ways of obtain money…e.g .home invasions; theft; etc
Such as? Example or suggestion
Drugs would not bring in very much extra cash here. It would just recycle cash already on island.
Bermuda would not be a cost effective place (shipping and salaries alone would cost too much from here) to grow and sell so nobody would buy from us.
no loud comin in now lol they all got caught
ofcourse cracking a joke dont take it to serious
nice…so far we have comments about students and drugs…neither of which were mentioned in the short article..
I know there are assumptions, but wouldnt it be better to write a lil less authoritatively at the moment?
Come on people , really, there has to be more to this story,
Don’t jump to conclusions and knock down the Canadian customs for doing their job, You know how many people go through the Toronto airport a day… They had to see some kind of strange behaviour or something suspicious for them to detain these people.
Yes, because Canadian customs have never detained innocent people ever.
They may be innocent, but they were detained based on suspicion of something.
Generally they would let the plane go and arrest in Bermuda upon arrival, so I wonder what it was for.
wow….WOW
They got detained for a reason, this is the real world with real cops, not the keystone cops we got here. All of you people defending them when you know absolutely nothing about the situation.
Maybe they were Bermudian Expats working in Toronto with full housing and expense allowances with additional benefits to cover for income taxes, and were probably travelling back with their 2 year employment earnings and left the landlords out of pocket for damages exceeding the rental deposits.. who knows…
Yalls really living in the dark!!
Ya mess with D bull you get D Horns!!!
Deal with it now ya fools!!!
there is not enough information in the head line to start speculating theories, every one seems to be snow balling this as an excuse to argue and react, to fuel fictional fire.
Possible drug smuggling – anyone?? There MUST have been some good reason for this action!!
their only crime is being young and foolish…I request and require,they be released to an adult representative of Bermuda forthwith.
Could be as simple as a bachelor party coming back still drunk n acting up. Love how we go straight to the smuggling though
