A 59-year-old man has been arrested following a garbage bin fire early this morning [Jan 27] that also damaged a nearby car.
A Police spokesman said: “At 1:30am on Thursday, Police responded to a report of a fire at the junction of Court Street and Angle Street in Pembroke. On arrival at the scene the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service had extinguished the fire.”
“It appears that a garbage bin was ablaze and as a result the receptacle was extensively damaged. A nearby car was also damaged by the fire. A 59 year old man has been arrested in connection with this incident and inquiries are ongoing.”
Aw come on guys…give the guy a break.
Do you know how cold it was at 1:30am this morning!! Can’t a guy get warm??
Take him to court and the make him clean all the trash bins in hamilton no fine!!!
Well you know the ole saying…give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to use fire he cook all night…………………….:)
Your right Malachi. Give the guy a break. I guess they will call him the “Pampered Chef” once his case is adjudicated.
I agree with Malachi. I woke up inside my house this morning with pure blankets and I was still uncomfortably cold. He obviously didn’t mean to damage the car.
Ok…give him a break you say, then tells us who is going to pay for the car damage/paint job?
The car owner? The insurance company? (which will raise their Premiums on the car owner’s insurance next time they renew.)
Who should pay?
Well if he’s on the streets at 1:30 in the morning lighting a fire trying to keep warm, do you think he has the money to pay for the damages? He ain’t gonna pay for it as it is, being as he (most likely) doesn’t have the money to.
