Man Charged In $10 Million Drug/Ammo Case

July 25, 2011

photo (1)This morning [July 25] in Magistrates Court, 46-year-old Victor Alan Roberts was charged in connection with the $10 million dollars worth of drugs and 200 rounds of ammunition seized by the police last week.

He was charged with conspiring with others not before the Court to import diamorphine [heroin], conspiring with others not before the Court to import cocaine, conspiring with others not before the Court to import cannabis, conspiring with others not before the Court to import cannabis resin, and two counts of conspiring with others not before the Court to import ammunition – said to be 100 9mm rounds and 100 40mm rounds.

The offence were alleged to have taken place between a date unknown and the 17th of July, 2011. Mr Roberts was not required to enter a plea, as the matter must be heard in Supreme Court. He was denied bail, and remanded in custody pending a further appearance.

After the seizure – which took place in Warwick [pictured] on Wednesday July 20th –  Police said, “Early indications are that the drug and ammunition seized in this case is approximately: 114 kilos of cannabis [251lbs], 1.5 kilos of heroin [3.3lbs], 1 kilo of cocaine [2.2lbs], 50 grams of hash, and four boxes of live ammunition [200 rounds]. The estimated value of the drugs is in excess of $10 million.”

[We apologize for the lack of photo, however as Mr Roberts was brought into Court already in custody, and taken back within the building in custody, we were unable to obtain a photo.]

  1. I knew it says:

    Not surprised its a white guy, knew it wasnt a street hustler with weight like that. Wasnt it also a Roberts years back where the parents were locked up on that drugs case up Somserset?

    • SMH says:

      Right cause all white people are rich, and there are no wealthy black people ;-)

    • The 411 says:

      What the hell does his color have to do with it? Black or white makes no difference…you just gotta wonder how (whoever is the perpetrator) they fund this size purchase? How’d they get the money out of Bermuda? How did they obtain $10M US for these purposes? And I ask these questions assuming the accused is innocent as he has been proven guilty of nothing..Let him have his day in court..

      • andre says:

        Because the drugs value is nowhere near $10M!! BPS notorious for overvaluing drug values.

        • True dat says:

          the weed alone sold at whole sale prices on the streets of Bermy would have yielded these individuals something like $1,757,000
          they took a hit for sure!

      • Really?? says:

        Just to help you out a bit. They state that the vaule of the drugs was $10 million (Although police overstate the value all the time using an outdated system….but that’s another topic entirely) That’s how much they state he would make selling them, he did not pay that much for the drugs. He paid significantly less than that, hence why people import drugs in the first place. I can guarantee that the drugs were bought wholesale for less than $1 million. which is a lot easier to smuggle than $10 million. And with that much drugs, I can also guarantee that there were definitley others invested in this too. A few guys probably split the cost of the shipment between them.

      • bermyshotta says:

        @ the 411 – BPS go by street value rather den wholesale value.

    • Onion Soup says:

      To “I Knew It”….I believe you’re thinking of Kirk Roberts who was tried and convicted of drug importation some years ago.

      And why would you bring up the fact that the person in the current case is white (if, indeed, he is)? Is this just race-baiting on your part, or do you have a legitimate point?

      Also, FYI, there are white street hustlers as well as black, so again I don’t get the point of your remark.

      • Stop Pointing ya Fingers says:

        Where to, Fairylands!! LMAO!!!

      • Pastor Syl says:

        @ Onion Soup: Whether or not we like it, the common perception is that only black folks are the perpetrators of all the drug and gun crime in Bermuda. The black community is aware that white folks also are engaged in these illegal activities, but they are so seldom caught that their activities almost take on the cloak of urban legend. So we feel vindicated when finally one gets arrested. I cannot speak for the white community.

        • Scott says:

          thoughts from white community..

          statistically, these drug/gun crimes are committed by black males, whether we like to admit it or not.

          We know whites are also involved, just obviously not on the front lines.. we are not at all surprised when one gets caught and to be honest we dont get in a big shock about it when it happens

          the sad part about the race comments from this story is just that it seems the fact that the guy is white is more important then the drugs/ammo to some, noted by you feeling “vindicated” about one getting arrested, not safer because all thei stuff is taken off the street.

          Frankly its a bit of a scare to our realities in bermuda when people are happy someone got arrested simply because he is white.

          • bdananny says:

            @Scott I agree

          • Rockfish#2 says:

            @ Scott, I understand your point as well as Pastor Syl’s,but unless you were raised in a Black neighbourhood, and attended a primarily Black school,etc.you will have a difficult time understanding her point. Also, it is perhaps safe to say the average Black Bermudian agrees with her!

          • Pastor Syl says:

            Let me be quite clear. I am very glad the drugs and ammo are now out of circulation,but since I am pretty sure that what is caught is only about 10% of what is out there, I am not about to jump over the moon about it.
            I applaud the police for stopping this particular shipment, but the question arises, how many time before has this person and his un-named henchmen brought in drugs and guns/ammo? Generally, in these type of cases, the police have been watching the person for some time, trying to catch them in an error. It would be very unusual for the police to be able to make such a bust on a first time criminal.
            “Vindication” comes when one has said something over and over and not been believed. I think you misunderstand if you think people are “happy someone got arrested simply because he is white.” I am happy that not just black people are getting arrested, because it is not just black people who are committing these crimes. It is true that the cases that are publicized are all black males, but I don’t believe for a minute that only black males have guns. And I know for a fact that black people are not the only ones using and/or importing drugs. The problem has been that the white ones seldom get arrested. For us, it looks like just another instance of institutionalized racism.
            Personally, I am beyond saddened by what is happening in our community. Black on black violence is a world-wide phenomenon where-ever there are large black communities. The psychological and sociological reasons for this are myriad and can be debated ad infinitum, but do not bring about peace.
            I think it is important for us to have these conversations, as long as it can be done without acrimony. The more we talk, and take the time to correct assumptions, the better we get to understand one another.

        • bdananny says:

          Just glad this one was caught, drugs kill and ppl with guns kill. I think of the children that are growing up, you dont need this crap out there.

          • Geza Wolf says:

            its easier for kids to buy illicit drugs then their legal cousin alcohol…does that make the kids safer?

    • Linda says:

      You have the wrong Roberts.

    • Liz says:

      No it is not that ROberts at all and he doen’t have weight like that.

    • c says:

      no that was a diff Roberts but he didnt do this alone so before we pass comment on his color lets wait and see who his partners are.

    • bdananny says:

      No it’snot the same on

    • serg says:

      that was kirk roberts..

  2. pass the popcorn says:

    Think I’ll just sit back and watch this develop into a thread consisting of finger pointing ,buck passing,deflection , blame and accusations ..

    • Terry says:

      Um witch yah Poppy………….

    • Notorious says:

      What’s your guess @pass the popcorn? Think it will get up to 200 comments?

      • pass the popcorn says:

        Based on my earlier assumption as to the direction and why , I think 200 is very do-able !

        (more salt please … munch , munch )

  3. Ebony & Ivory (Original) says:

    I think most of us don’t care whether he is black white pink or green. Just glad he was caught and that those drugs are off the street.

    But congratulations for getting race into the conversation with the very first comment.

    You must be so proud.

    • Scott says:

      the sad thing is, more people care then we like to believe..

      check this comment from bernews fb page: “It would take a white guy to say why are we making it racial…because a white guy finally got caught!”

      its as if the actual bust is just a side story to the fact that a white guy got arrested….

    • freddyg says:

      I AGREE WITH YOU EBONY & IVORY !!! RACE SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE – DRUGS OFF THE STREETS AND A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE !!!

  4. wondering says:

    this is how @ssinine we are………..it was a “white guy” is the most intelligent thing we have heard. I heard the taxi driver who got caught with tens of thousands of dollars and COCAINE in his taxi try to justify it in a similiar fashion – I’m just trying to get ahead is an excuse to sell poison?

  5. Chart says:

    His name was associated with the Bermuda Cement Company takeover a few years back, no?

  6. George Courtney says:

    who says that he was white as i know a lot of blacks in bermuda with the roberts surname

  7. KARMA says:

    He is Victor Roberts that owned Blumber’s Crane and Steel and Bermuda Asphalt Company.
    On behalf of all the staff and people over the years, we say KARMA SLEEPS WITH EVERYBODY…INCLUDING YOU BLUMBER!!!!
    I hope they bury you under Westgate!!!

    • Chart says:

      Ah yes, wasn’t he also linked to the disappearance of a bunch of concrete block from Southside a few years ago? Was in the news but never brought to trial.

    • Islander says:

      LOL oh damn Karma smh

    • Away says:

      Ouch!! LOL

    • Oh well . . . . says:

      Hope he gets what he deserves . . . .

    • KARMA says:

      This is one evil SOB! [edited for legal reasons] Its so plainly obvious that someone has been babysitting his ass for years so I am just gonna sit back and wonder just how long it will take for his babysitter to wipe his stinkin dirty ass clean of this one.

    • GPS says:

      @KARMA….Kabooom!…..No Wonder Our Roads Haven’t Been Paved Decent Lately…This Would Explain it!!…he was too busy paving he way for the drugs to get here.

    • bdananny says:

      @Karma,
      Wow, I couldn’t agree more.

  8. Cricket Bat (Original) says:

    Bermuda is race obsessed. Honestly, if you people can think of nothing more relevant to argue about then you are just a bunch of spoiled, self centred a–holes.

    • Just Curious says:

      who started it! .be “original”..dig deep..100 years ago?

  9. SMH says:

    Obviously it doesn’t matter what colour he is! I guess the first commenter’s point was that it was someone with a lot of money to be able to afford such a large quantity of drugs, but does that mean that because he was white that he has a lot of money? The article clearly states that he was “charged with conspiring with others not before the Court”, therefore does not have to be the sole financier or a financier at all…

    Regardless of all that, this has to go to supreme court and although it appears that he has been caught red-handed, he is still innocent until proven guilty etc etc…

  10. Takbir Sharrieff says:

    Like Michael Jackson says….It does’nt matter if you’re black or white …it just matters if you’re wrong or right.I will reserve all my comments until after the court case ….if there is one.!But what a capture Bermuda Police Service…..a complete gamut of offences.Now it is up to the Legislature and Jury system…..Then…Westgate Hotel with lots of company…..whoever is found guilty.!Proud to be a Bermudian……

    • LOL (original) says:

      Sorry why would there not be a court case? Please explain.

      LOL

  11. FridayGirl says:

    I quote the words of a street hustler ” When you have no job you try and sell drugs, when they take your drugs they take you life. What do you have left to do but get drunk and kill people. What else do you have to live for after that.”
    My opinion, people are going to do whatever they like. If you do drugs “oh well” no one has the right to judge any one or tell them how to live their life.
    I know people who have done drugs for years and have no criminal record, how do you explain that? Simple keep people happy and they will keep you happy.

  12. curious says:

    does anyone know if he is a relative of kirk roberts (the guy who got booked a minute ago bringing weight in on his race boats)?

    • some facts says:

      That wasn’t ‘a minute ago’ , at the risk of confusing the poorly informed ..It was a long time back …maybe 12 years ago ?
      And Kirk knew his race boats were being scrutinized big time .
      If you followed his case you’d know what his MO was back then.

    • Hudson says:

      not related

    • Tailwheeler says:

      I think that this Victor Roberts may be the son of the Victor Roberts that hung himself back in the 60′s? Can anyone confirm that?

  13. US Observer says:

    Oh I love the statement “He was charged with conspiring with others.” Who are “the others?” Speak now or forever hold your peace…being said, it’s alledged that Mr. Roberts is just a body part as in an arm. I wonder who the head is?

    • Onion Soup says:

      My understanding of the phrase “conspiring with others not before the Court” is that the investigation into those allegedly involved with Roberts in this drugs/guns haul are either still being investigated or are as yet unknown (assuming that he alone could not have acquired and shipped all of the drugs and guns without the knowledge and assistance of others, local or otherwise).

    • Derek Simons says:

      That is what i am waiting to here WHO is the OTHERS!! I might not be surprise
      when i here some of the BIG gun’s names.DC

  14. Buzy says:

    These are things that make me laugh about us Bermudian’s. If it was a murder that you witnessed you would have never mentioned the name of the culprits, the area, the vehicle etc. But because one has something against some one it makes it alright to mention there business name etc. This is why in my eyes some bermudians are always rady to Chat somebody’s business until it turns on them. I don’t condone the situation in which has taken place but it surely does not put in a position to talk about something that I am not familar with until the case goes to court. So instead of putting your mouth into something you dont know somethings are better left unsaid. Who the cap fit let them wear it.

    • It is what it is says:

      I totally agree with you…Just because he has crossed people in one way or another thay are equick to put him on blast but if where a shooting they would hear no evil, speak no evil say no evil….we don’t know all the facts to this one but if its the Blumber of late he does not have that kind of float to front an operation like this so all of you that are a blast from his past and saying karma this and karma that let’s hope none of your family members are involved…. I know nothing of the situation as yet and neither do the police because so far he has just been charged..so be careful what you wish for……

      • It is what it is says:

        see no evil…(omitted in error)

  15. Another pov says:

    I think it is naive to believe that there are any single ‘Mr Biggs’ involved in the drug importation business in Bda.. hell , this isn’t some James Bond movie plot with a Kananga controlling his sole plot of this speck of a rock.

    It’s a well known fact that for a l o n g time a few guys will hatch a plan and then get many smaller investors on board. ‘Invest 10G now and I’ll turn it into 50G for you in a few months.’ is the promise made to the greedy and gullible.

    Plan fails (occasionally) thanks to Customs and Police , or tipsters , and then we have a bunch of guys mysteriously getting chopped up who refuse to press charges.
    It’s not rocket science folks.

    And as an outgoing Police Commissioner said some years back , people who have clean money aren’t going to soil it with bad money (and thus risk loosing it all)

  16. Rangers 4 Lyfe! says:

    Dun,

    It’s ALL about race. If this guy is white, then it means he is a sociopathic druglord trying to keep the black man down. If he’s black, it means he was simply trying to provide ganja to his bredrens. If he’s portuguese, it means he’s somewhere in the middle, perhaps conflicted and practicing cognitive dissonance.

    Remember:

    RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE

    also, RACE!

    • George Courtney says:

      RACE?? THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX (BERMUDA) — FRANK LUCAS, NICKY BARNES, TOOTY REESE & FREEWAY RICKY ROSS. 4 of america’s major drug dealers — ALL BLACK!!!

  17. PEPPER says:

    I am so happy that this man was caught, well done Bda police.

  18. Just Curious says:

    Ducks coming home to roast!

  19. Stop Pointing ya Fingers says:

    Black or white, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK OK, here is something for you all to munch on………………since there seems to be some eyebrow raising over the guy being white, let me put it to you all like this……who on here thinks that bringing up the fact that he is white is just some way to swing the race card back in and who on here does not think that?

    Judging by the names of those that have already left a comment above, the white observers seem to think it is a problem with saying, finally a white guy is caught, but those that seem to be black (most of em anyway), seem to not have a problem with it. Its jus tan observation so don’t get your panties in a bunch, cause if you do, you may just prove my comment to be right!

    And just so everyon on here knows, the race card was played a very long time ago. Point is, we all need to acknowledge it and not just say, again with the race. By acknowledging it helps to finally get it out of the way. Don’t you think?

    • Onion Soup says:

      @Pointing ya Fingers….are you clairvoyant? If not, how the hell can you tell, by their name, if someone posting here is black or white?

      • hee hee says:

        It’s all in how they type , dontcha know that… hahahaha

        • Onion Soup says:

          Yeah, hee hee…I get your drift. I won’t comment further on how I think he determines who is what. I’ll only say I’m sure he hasn’t got a clue as to how we are here on de Rock…we hit as hard on our own as we do on the others.

  20. Sweet Bri says:

    Good job BPS. Keep up the good work!

  21. Onion Soup says:

    All the aside commentary aside, yaaaaay for the BPS…you guys rock! Keep up the good work. With all the drugs being pulled off the streets, all those losers jonesing will be all messed up…make ‘em more likely to screw up and easier to snag.

    BLUMBER dosent have that type of money trust me, i use to work for him

  25. Malcolm X says:

    C’mon Guys behind every rich balck person, there is a wealthy white person signing their checks. Frank Lucas, Nicky Barnes,Freewar Ricky Ross were all those rich drug dealers were financed buy white italians.

    And about the white people are the only ones with money comment. YES they are… Look at 75%-80% of the nice houses and upscale neighborhoods in Bermuda or around the world are owned by white people.

    We Black people need a turn!

    Those Bullets were not for whites or portuguese people there were bought on this island to KILL BLACK CHILDREN! He is just as guilty as the murderers.

    White People are the DEVIL and Economic SLAVERY is still live and present.
    The colonial mindset of white is right still exists.

    I won’t be suprised if he gets off scotch free.

    AND when he does I MALCOLM X will lead the Black community on to Parliment and protest and down TUCKER’s Town to reclaim of ancestors land you pagan white Ba$t@rD$.

    • Please says:

      Then what about the 10 mill extra @ TCD. Explain the race in that Malcolm X???

      Yes I am black, blue, purple, white, red, …………who gives a F. I can see by your comments that your parents are really disappointed with what you have made out of your life.

      The only color I’m reading now is green $. if Bda PLP is not careful your mom is going to be selling her toto to the tourist when they vacation here. Just to keep a roof over ye head.

    • Frieza says:

      True except Frank Lucas he went around the mob…
      and you do have a serious point in how its possible for the white (european) community too own most of the wealth in a country that is 60% black 15% portuguese?

      • George Courtney says:

        because bermuda’s white (european) community use the powernomic principles of make significant financial progress in this country. in contrast to the blacks while they celebrate physical slavery emancipation in 2 days; THEY ARE STILL FINANCIALLY & SPIRITUALLY ENSLAVED AND DON’T EVEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY REALIZE IT!!!

      You scare me. Really, you do. Perhaps that is what you want? But be truthful, what exactly do you want if you could have anything in the world change overnight? All white people to leave Bermuda? All IB to leave? All work pemit holders to leave? A country where ONLY blacks should live, visit and feel welcome?
      Dude, wake up, get your head out of the rear view mirror and live for today and what tomorrow might bring. STOP with this hate and negativity. It will consume you and like a cancer will overpower you.

    To Malcolm X
    How dare you use the pen name of Malcolm X. Please do not disgrace his name find yourself another pen name. If there are white men signing checks why don’t some of these drug dealers talk!!!! give me a break, if white men are bringing in the guns why are the blacks shooting one another. Go jump off the dearest cliff!!!!!! MX you are still around do all blacks do as whites tell them!!!!!!! Stop using the race card.

  28. Terry says:

    Samn…..there’s a lot of hate in Bermuda….and a lot of ignorance as to it/’s causes. Wonder why. Maybe because “we had to deceive you” before we left…..

  29. Skeptic says:

    white does not equal evil and black does not equal gangster
    I only hope that the “old guard” realises that there are some people who are trying to get on with their lives in a safe country instead of bringing up the race card. give me a break. I am white, I don’t own a BMW, I am not a consultant and I am a Bermudian. All you guys who spend so much time yammering on about race should do something constructive like volunteer.

  30. KARMA says:

    Our Black children are shooting and killing our own black children. Our black community is being poisoned by our own black race. These are the front line blacks that you see running the streets and still living in the ghetto struggling everyday to make a dollar. Meanwhile, we all know that these same black children do not have the means to finance the drugs and guns they so freely sell and use to harm their own race in thier own personal struggle to survive. So when a black man/woman stands up and verbally speaks what we have all known to be fact (ie: the financial aspects of the underworld enterprise of guns and drugs) becasue we now have something to physically show the white community, we are playing the race card. As previously stated, THOSE BULLETS WERE DESTINED FOR 42, PARKSIDE, MOB and whoever/whatever other gangs. THAT IS UNDENIABLE! So no matter how you try to flip it, spin it, or deny it, to see a white man finally get caught and charged proves to us all who is backing – either financial or physical – this damn genocide of Bermudian Black Males!!!! Meanwhile, the same whites that are financing this enterprise are living quite comfortably and going about their business unnoticed on a daily basis. So yes – coupled in with the know facts of Blumber’s past history of behavoiur – I am quite happy to finally see the “white come to light”!

    • Tired of nonsense says:

      So let me get this straight?

      One white guy gets caught, with accomplices not before the court (who knows what color they are), and it represents the undeniable fact that this a white conspiracy to commit black genocide (i suggest you actually loo up that term before throwing around such accusations)? So one white guy/criminal is representative of all whites?

      I get you guys unadulterated and limitless hatred for whites and what not, but at least be somewhat rational in your hatred.

      It is pretty sick though that instead of celebrating the fact that drugs and ammo are off the street, you are actually celebrating the fact that a white guy is charged with the crime. And whites are racists? Yeah whatever buddy.

      • KARMA says:

        No one said anything about judging all whites the same, but I sit here quite often and see plenty of black-bashing as soon as there is a shooting or drug bust to the fact that this is a black problem. And by all means, I agree with the fact that ALL shootings and the MAJORITY of drug charges are those of black me. However I will stand by my comment that these young black men are the bottom of the ladder offenders who are being supplied and financed by a much higher power. So if that means that you want to take my comments and spin them to suit your own twisted interpretation of the stated facts that is your triffling business. The streets, economic situation of the black males, and crime statics speak a much louder language than your attempt at missing my very valid point. And yes, I am EXTREMELY HAPPY that this has been removed from the streets. I am equally happy that the one behind it is Blumber and his mere color of birth has nothing more to do with it other than the fact that to prove to those of you who chose to act like it is a Black Issue can now kindly pull your heads out of your indenial asses.

        • Tired of nonsense says:

          Fair enough.

          But when a black Bermudian is charged/convicted with crimes and reported on Bernews, I don’t see whites celebrating the fact that a black Bermudian was locked up. I am happy when any criminal that is polluting our country and citizens with their products are taken off the streets. Nor do I see people stating that black Bermudians are the source of all our social ills either.

          Am I reading the wrong site?

        • Tired of nonsense says:

          On top of that when whites or give insight do comment on what you term as a “black issue” we get shouted down that we cannot relate, we don’t know what we are talking about, he who knows it feels it, you all live in ivory towers on South Shore/Tuckers Town/Fairylands away from all the crime, blah blah blah.

          So if anything it has been your fellow black Bermudians that claim it to be nothing but a “black issue” while telling white Bermudians that they know nothing of the situation and thus should not even contemplate providing commentary on the issues at hand. Don’t believe me? Read similar articles and the subsequent commentary.

        • Frieza says:

          Boom KO!

    • White Guy Who Hates Himself says:

      AGREED, KARMA!

      I cry myself to sleep every night thinking about how much I’m oppressing black Bermudians by simply being white!

      I’ve been looking into permanent skin dyes that would turn me black…do you have any recommendations?

      I CAN’T GO ON ANY LONGER AS A WHITE MAN! HELP! I CAN FEEL THE CAVIAR SEEPING OUT OF MY PORES!!!!!

      Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

    Best believe and know for certain that 99.9% of people that is rich and well off came from crime. And that’s the truth straight way!

    • George Courtney says:

      prove it, did warren buffett, bill gates & mark zuckerberg get rich of drugs — NO!! PLEASE PROVIDE US OF AT LEAST 10% OF THE NAMES OF THE RICH THAT BECAME RICH FROM CRIME

  32. Black Pearl says:

    “Just curious” you have me ROFLMAO……all of your comments are so true. Let the truth be told. Right on!

  33. Black Pearl says:

    Speak it “Karma” you see the light, turn on the switches and the light bulbs and let everyone that is asleep know whats really happening. We’ve been lied to, bamboozled, and hoodwinked for way to long, its time for black people and people of color to wake the hell up out off your slumber. Take the blind folds off your eyes, wake and live to the truth and reality and set yourselves free for truth. And thats the truth straight way!

    It saddens me to see people making generalisations about any race.
    I hope those who posted above about their negative beliefs/ stereotypes can over time learn to see that it is insane to make statements such as ‘white people are evil’.
    Of course some white people are evil, I’m white and happy to admit that SOME white people have been responsible for some of the worst attrocities in history-
    look at slavery, the Nazis and the nutter who just massacred all those Norwegians.
    Unfortunately, evil crosses racial boundaries and there have been some appalling acts by black and asians too.
    One last point I would like to make is- if you read propanganda by extremists of any coulour who claim race ‘x’ is evil, bear in mind that they are pedalling these views in order to gain power and for each person who hears this nonsense and subscribes to these views more evil is being introduced to the world.

    Sermon over. Take each person as an individual.

    BERNEWS, I have a question. Is the story correct that there were 100 rounds of 40 mm ammo with the shipment? Is that a typo or incorrect statement? This size of ammo is huge, sort of like grenade size, as I’ve seen from a little Internet research. If true, it would beg the question what someone was going to do with such destructive ammunition.

    Was it supposed to read .40 caliber ammo? This would be an entirely different story.

    Let me know please.

    • bernews says:

      We never saw the shipment, however that’s what they said in court…40mm. Just checked the other media and they report same as us, so its highly, highly doubtful we all made the same error.

      • James says:

        Ok BERNEWS, fair enough. You’re pretty accurate, I was just making sure.

        So I would think the more important question would be where is the rather large gun to use this confiscated ammo and more importantly what did he/they intend to do with it?!

        The above crap about race is out of order, who cares if the idiot was blue or green?! He was caught and will be hopefully convicted. Too much race crap in Bermuda, leave it alone until its warranted!

        And before they all jump all over me, I’m a black Bermudian male who has lived outside Bermuda and KNOWS what it is to FEEL racism and punch it in the face and have it punch/kick back. Opening your eyes and actually seeing the world is good every once and a while.

    • 04foxache says:

      very likely .40 caliber for Glock and Browning pistols and not 40mm. Can you imagine? Remember that Bren gun in Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels? And it only shot 7.62mm ammo!

  36. Malcolm X says:

    What I want is equal rights and justice I want to reverse what your white pagan ancestors did to mine for just 200/400 years that u did it to us. Kill, torture and break the men of your race down like you did ours. Take land and force you into free labor and then one day say “ok!” live your lives and catch up and stop making excuses cause you aint as rich as us. (like your looking at your big land, house and cars aren’t an everyday reminder of the sweat and blood off our ancestors back)

    And to you ignorant mo fo talking about my mom. I am speaking the mind of the average black man and woman. She has a degree and well paid and so am I.

    TCD is one business, lets look at the amount of blacks that live in Fairylans, Tucker’s Town and all those WHITE Neighborhoods that Oprah can’t even buy her way into!

    All the financers for parkside are the white boys they roll with. Like that young man that was caught with the weed and the guns that got off last year or so.

    ALL I REALLY WANT IS 200/400 YEARS OF REVERSE SLAVERY SO WE BLACKS CAN HAVE A TURN TOO!!! then we can see how fast you catch the f**k up you WHITE PAGAN B@$T@Rd$….

    Dear Bernews:

    I would like to formally complain regarding the racist comments and racial baiting that is posted on your website, having been approved in your moderation system.

    Many of these comments run counter to the Bermuda Media Code of Practice, to which Bernews is a signatory (see below).

    12. Incitement to Hatred
    * A. The media has the right and the duty to report and comment on all matters of legitimate public interest. This right and duty shall, however, be balanced against the obligation not to publish/broadcast/post material that amounts to hate speech.
    * B. Editors/news directors shall take care in deciding how to report incidences of hate speech without widening the dissemination of its content.
    * C. Hate speech is defined for the purpose of this Code as hateful, threatening, abusive or insulting language intended or likely to cause grave offence or stir up hatred against an individual or group on the basis of skin colour, race, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, illness, or age.

    • 04foxache says:

      I agree. The poster is obviously a troll and should not be paid any attention.

    • True dat says:

      Shut The Hell up!!!! You Sound Like you work for the Royal Gazette!!! Get the hell off of Bernews blog you Hater!! >;/

    Chart go lay down

  40. Tucker says:

    Stop with the black shit, it was the past get over it. Your making yourself sound extremely ” ignorant”. That’s putting it nicely.

  41. Watching says:

    We are a SICK people, we SUCK at every thing we do, even when we make comments.

    As long as our brains stay as small as peas, nothing will change.

    Black / White / Black / White get the point.

  42. Hudson says:

    Bernews – can you please do some investigative journalism? Word on the street is that Blumber was released on $5m bail, put up by none other than one of our construction companies quite close to our government officials. Is this true?

    • bernews says:

      We have no up-to-date official confirmation of where he is at this present time, but he was outright denied bail at his first hearing. If he reappeared in Court and got bail, the chance of all five media outlets missing it is very low, and its a big case so the fact he got bail would be definitely be reported. He is due to reappear in Court this Monday [August 8] so that will shed light on it.

  43. Tucker says:

    Bernews, what happened in court yesterday with victor Roberts. Do you have any info

  44. Tucker says:

    Can someone please give an update on this case. This guy was suppose to go back to court on aug 8. I find it hard to believe that nobody has any info about this. $10 million dollar bust and it all just disappears. Either this guy is now rolling over on alot of other people that were involved or he was bailed out like another person heard and he took off, can someone clarify what is going on here..

  45. Tucker says:

    WTF, no one can tell me anything. Bernews you suck…..

    • Pastor Syl says:

      Don’t blame Bernews if there isn’t any news!

      Having said that, I think we are all wondering what has happened to this case. Since this guy appears to have gotten away with criminal activity in the past (hearsay) we would be incensed to find he has yet again slipped under the wire and escaped the island, or something similar.

      Bernews, please follow up!

  46. me says:

    Blumber did get bailed out by a famous construction company.
