Double Shooting: Police Seek Witnesses
The Police are seeking witnesses to the shooting two days ago, especially anyone who may have seen a man riding a white SYM scooter motorcycle in the area.
On Monday evening, two 22-year-old men were shot in the Friswells Hill area, receiving non life threatening injuries. An eyewitness told us that the men were riding along, got shot, crashed the bike, and “ran away, well really more limped” into nearby trees.
Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro, Officer in Charge of the Serious Crime Unit, said that Detectives are investigating the incident, and a number of witnesses have already been seen, but the Police still need to speak with persons that may have seen or known anything about this incident.
The Serious Crime Unit can be contacted on 299-8106 or an anonymous call can be made to the confidential and independent Crime Stoppers Bermuda hotline 800-8477
Detective Chief Inspector Pedro’s full statement is below:
Around 5:30pm on Monday 20th September, 2010 Police Officers responded to a confirmed firearm incident on Friswells Road in Pembroke. On arrival in the area it was ascertained that two men aged 22 years old had been injured. Their injuries are described as non-life threatening.
Detectives from the Serious Crime Unit are investigating this incident, and are particularly interested in speaking to anyone that may have observed a white SYM scooter motorcycle being ridden by one male in the vicinity immediately prior to the shooting.
A number of witnesses have already been seen, but we still need to speak with persons that may have seen or known anything about this incident.
The Bermuda Police Service continues to work hard to bring offenders to justice, which can be seen in the recent appearances of persons before the courts in recent months for a variety of serious offences, including murder.
