Burglar Steals From St. Peter’s Church
One of Bermuda’s historical and treasured landmarks was broken into, with the Bermuda Police reporting a burglary at St. Peter’s Church in St. George’s.
The Police say that it appears that sometime between 8pm on Wednesday and 8am yesterday morning [Sept 30] an unknown culprit gained entry into the premises and stole a quantity of cash.
Built centuries ago, St. Peter’s Church is reputedly the oldest continuously operating Protestant church in the New World, one of the oldest official buildings in the English-speaking world beyond the British Isles, and a well established St. George’s landmark. The church was scene to the beginnings of the island’s democracy, hosting the first Assembly almost 400 years ago – on August 1, 1620.
Police inquiries into this matter are underway, and anyone with any information is urged to contact the Police on 295-0011. The Bermuda Police Service has continued to advise us to remain vigilant regarding burglaries, saying “All residents should make sure windows and doors are locked before leaving their homes unattended, even for short periods of time. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activities or individuals in their neighbourhoods to Police on 295-0011.”
In April of this year, another church was broken into, not once – but twice. Burglar[s] entered St. Mary’s Church on Middle Road, Warwick twice in one weekend, stealing electrical equipment each time.
