Home Occupants Confront Burglar
Only one day after a man was hospitalized after breaking into a home and being confronted by the occupant, there has been another case of an intruder being confronted after breaking into a residence.
A man wearing a full face helmet broke into a Hamilton parish home last night [June 21], and was confronted by the residents. A struggle ensued, however the intruder managed to escape on a motorcycle with a laptop.
A Police spokesman said, “Around 10pm on Tuesday, police responded to a reported burglary at a Long Lane, Hamilton parish residence.”
“It appears that around 9:50pm that day an unknown intruder gained entry into the home and was confronted by the occupants. A struggle ensued; however the intruder managed to make good his escape on a motorcycle with a laptop computer. The occupants were not injured.”
“The suspect is described as a slim black male in his 40s with a low beard, wearing a full face helmet. Officers searched the surrounding area for the culprit but he was not located.”
“Inquiries into this incident are underway. Any witnesses or anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the St. George’s Criminal Investigation Unit on 293-2222.”
NOT AGAIN!
I am going to Masters and Sports R US tomorrow
This is only the beginning my people. Be prepared.
Down to Hamilton Parish he went
“He’s a good boy no harm that he meant”
Broke in at Hilltop
And stole a laptop
And off on his scooter he went.
I wonder if you would be writing poems if this happened to you.
If this awful thing happened to me
I’d be mad and pissed off as could be
With a baseball bat
I’d aim it like that
And probably break both his knees
lol love it!
lol that was actually funny but you still wouldn’t feel that way if it happened to you.
Oh shut up already notorious!
Did not the man say he’d be furious?
Sing ‘You would cry too if it happened to you’, me or us
Yes we agree now stop boring us.
White Christ remember when I left you a comment and you didn’t reply? Go back and look for it. Still applies to this day and kiss my ass. You and your boyfriend LOL stay following me around like lost puppies. I love it. Keep the attention coming.
and your solution is …………… oh right you are notorious with the words that come out of your head…………………
LOL
Thank you “LOL” and you are notorious for being up my ass on bernews. Here’s a hint…get a life.
Im sayin like…nobody on her’s got a life, includin me….spacially since im a jabronie…but im gotta admit even doe arryone dissin people on her i still consida you bies and gyals my close cyber friends. love you all…spacially de haters! keep entertainin me bredren and sistrens
If he tries it in my house, he will be carried out.
It looks like we have to have protective gear in the house…. hopefully the adrenalin doesn’t rise too much!!!!!!!
Asking for a good old fashion butt kicking !!! Dumb and dumber !!!!
Too much media, that’s all. Giving these jackasses idea after idea. When you touch my door knob after hours your hand sticks to the DOOR KNOB TIL MY ROTTWEILLER IS FREE TO EAT YOU UP BABY… COME TO MY HOUSE…FOOLS
Rottweillers are a banneed Breed. Someon thinks they are dangerous (-;
Still no explanation as to why the police detained the previous homeowner who fought the intruder. So when one of these thugs comes in your house, if they get hurt, are the police going to blame the occupant?
It is not just happening in Bermuda, a burglar was stabbed to death in Manchester last night.

i think it’s time for me to get the Doberman i’ve always wanted. u’d think he’d have more sense after what happened to the guy round middle town. my question is…how did he manage to get away if he was confronted?
I have an aluminum t-ball bat and short machete under my bed, each very easy to retrieve and handle due to their length. I pray one of these fools does not try break into my house while Im sleeping. He will leave with either a very bad headache, or no head at all!! Its his gamble…
So tell me Police what do we do if we find someone in our house some hour in the morning. So if we kick his ass will you come and arrest us. Please advise so that we know our rights. PS. I have a ROTTWEILLER and a Baseball so bring it on you house breakers.
The Police need to go to every Roaming Crackhead and warn them of the dangers of breaking and entering and that it’s likely they will be killed upon entry into a house they not supposed to be in!!
Nothing wrong with a little poetry
But on a serious note these burglers are really getting out of hand, I see more beat downs in the future.
This beating caused quite the storm
But burglars you know you’ve been warned
Break in a house
Things might just go south
As these beatings become quite the norm
loving the limericks! getting your message across in a literate & fun yet serious way. keep them coming and to hell with the haters.
The haters are down on their luck
Like a hockey stick without a puck
They don’t bother me
They’re nothing you see
I really could not give a ****
Love it!
LOL You’re earning your name!
Oh shut up!
this is y we dnt need police dun,
THINK ABOUT IT…if arryone would just b like this safe bredren n take it upon demselves 2 beat up guyz who rob there houses, we culd completely cut de police force from d budget…this is a FACT, PPL.
my great Uncle Sodium Knees said 1 time back n de day he was just sittin home FLEXIN like, n den sum burglar broke thru his window and climbed inside. unc was like “AY BIE, whatchu doin?” n de burglar wuz like “Robbin ya house, dun…where’s ya jewelry to?”. Unc almos told him but den realized it was a trick, so then he was like “ima break ya knees with a cricket bat, dun”. Sure enough, the burglar waited while Unc went out 2 de garage, got de cricket bat, then came back an smashed his kneecaps. When Unc called de cops dey were like “oh hello Mr. Knees…ya, we’ll be dere to pick him up n take him 2 de station in FOUR DAYS…have a nice day!” Unc didn’t feel like waitin 4 days wif a burglar in his house, so he physically dragged him all de way 2 hamilton station (from Country, so he wuz tired). When he got dere, there wuz a sign on de door sayin “Out 2 Lunch – Back in SIX WEEKS”. Unc wuz fed up at that point so he just tied de burglar to a lamp post nearby and left him with a box of crackers (no water tho, he died 2 days later).
i guess de point um tryin 2 make is dat the police dont do ne thing, so y dont we just cut dem out d budget completely n let ppl get exercise by makin citizens arrest n draggin GUYZ 2 de station.
WAKE UP PPL!
Bye, doan-meykme-holla!!!
But seriously, we and all societies need police authority.
And dont blame the BPS because your Premier chopped up their budget… you see?
Clafe, I wish I had your creativity! I’m trying not to burst into laughter over here…
@Clafe Literary Genius you as well People’s Poet. At least the humour distracts one from some of the OTT comments. As for Uncle Sodium Knees I think he should invest in a bit of lotion or moisturizer… LOL
In any event, it would be much easier if citizens/Bermudians did their part as most homeowners have been forced to to when confronting perps. On the other hand, let’s think of the police as ADMINISTRATORS. They can’t protect and serve when they’re too busy doing back logged paperwork.
When I moved into my apartment one of the first investments I made was in an alarm system. All landlords and tenants should discuss this in this day in age. When I sleep at night it is with peace of mind. When I leave my house during the day it is with peace of mind. So the question is….would you be willing to invest in peace of mind? I personally used Anderlin to get mine.
Alarms are good, but does not always a deterrent, these crack fiends are desparate, I say destroy the drugdealers, the smugglers, and the shot callers in high and low places. Lets take not Alarm but arm ourselves not with just defensive mesures but offensive strategic planing, lets find out whats the cause for the great need to have things now, a laptop was stolen, ok thief maybe you can write a resume and get a job, but I suppose this was a crack head, smash up the drug rings , the dealers who brazenly deal dope on court street, smash down the doors,
Crime goes up when supply is low…
@ Clafe…What we supposed to do after we drop them at the station if there are no police there? They do a lot they dont get half the credit they deserve its people like you who shouldnt be aloud to write comments..Just saying…
@hmmm didn’t you read it ? Clafe’s “UNC” tied him to de lamp post! That’s what you do! LOL!
Its not just here.

I have a Min-Pin that’s a live burglar alarm… She might sleep all day, but come nightfall she goes into security guard mode… any sound she hears outside warrants a full investigation… gets a bit annoying sometimes I admit, but hey, in this day and age you can’t be too cautious…
PEOPLES POET KEEP IT GOING YO I LIKE YOUR POEMS,
AS FOR THESE FOOLS BREAKING INTO HOUSES OH THE LORD BETTER HELP THEM BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY TRIES TO BREAK IN MY HOUSE WHEN I’M HOME I’M CARVING THAT PERSON RIGHT UP AND I LOVE TO COOK SO I GOT A LOT OF SHARP TOOLS IN MY HOUSE AND I SLEEP WITH ONE UNDER MY PILLOW EVERY NIGHT TOO. THE HELL IF I’M GONNA LET SOMEBODY TAKE MY THINGS THAT I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR. SOONER OR LATER PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE GUNS IN THEIR HOUSES LIKE THEY LEGAL, YOU WATCH.
It’s simple..the Bda Government should send out a notice through the media letting the public know that if confronted by an intruder, the law will protect you (home occupier) if anything were to happen to the intruder.
This is clearly an opportunity for the BDA Govt and Police.
If only it were that simple!
I totally agree. An occupant should have the right to defend his/her home by any means necessary without repercussion from the law. In my opinion if someone breaks in your house you shoud have the right to kill them. When will the law change. We cannot blame the police for making arresting the hero for defending his family their job is to uphold the law not make it. Everybody call your MP’s and tell them to stop protecting the criminals and start protecting the law abiding citizen.
there are a lot of desperate people right now but that is not an excuse for these fools to do what they do. unfortunately it does not matter how tight you lock up your house these animals will find a way to break in. i ask the police what are we supposed to do? the sad realty of this is people are going to protect themselves at all cost.
