Two Teens Arrested In Separate Incidents
Police arrested two teenagers in separate incidents which both involved the police pursuing the suspects, with a 17-year-old female arrested for offenses including disqualified driving and failing to stop for police, while a 17-year-old male was arrested for possession of a bladed article, driving while disqualified by reason of age, and dangerous driving.
17-Year-Old Female Arrested
A police spokesperson said, “Around 11:20 p.m. on Friday, August 22, 2025, police officers were on mobile patrol in the area of Cobbs Hill Road, Warwick, when they observed a motorcycle traveling east at a high rate of speed.
“Officers attempted to stop the rider who refused to comply and continued to speed along Cobbs Hill Road.
“Officers pursued the rider who passed through the junction with Middle Road without stopping or slowing and almost caused a collision with another vehicle.
“Police maintained the pursuit onto Harbour Road, where the rider continued to ride in a dangerous manner, overtaking on a series of blind bends.
“The rider, a 17-year-old female, was eventually caused to stop on Harbour Road near Warwick Park Road.
“She was arrested for disqualified driving and failing to stop for police. She was also ticketed for riding a motorcycle while under the age of 18, as well as riding an unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle.
“The young lady has since been bailed to appear before the Courts.
17-Year-Old Male Arrested
“Elsewhere, shortly after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 23, 2025, officers on mobile patrol in St. George’s, observed a motorcycle traveling at high speed along Southside Road near to the junction with Stocks Road.
“The officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the rider sped off in an easterly direction along St. David’s Road.
“Officers pursued the vehicle and the rider, a 17-year-old male was seen to have discarded an item in the area of Pizza House Restaurant. The item which was recovered turned out to be a knife.
“The rider was eventually stopped on St. David’s Road near Texas Road and arrested for possession of a bladed article, driving while disqualified by reason of age, and dangerous driving.”
Stop and Search
“Police have been making full use of their powers under Section 315F of the Criminal Code, which allows officers to stop and search persons in anticipation of violence.
“These efforts have resulted in a number of arrests for possession of bladed weapons, possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply, and outstanding warrants.”
Robert Cardwell, Acting Superintendent with the BPS Tactical Division stated, “We fully understand and appreciate there may be some inconvenience caused while we carry out these stop and search operations. However, we want to reassure the public that these are efforts are part of your police service working diligently to prevent further violence, disrupt criminal activity, and bring offenders to justice. We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue this work.”
hmm , wonder who’s been setting the example for these ‘model’ children to think that this behavior is normal ?
Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone home?
They are 17 years old. They were born in 2007 or 2008. For their whole lives they have been told by successive government and political leaders that neither the law nor the police need be obeyed. This is hardly surprising.
Wow! My first question is who are the owner[s] of these vehicles? Secondly, should the owner[s] be legally accountable for securing their vehicles? Keep away from the sight and reach of children!
Perhaps these two 17 year olds need a lesson in what criminal activities leads to. Sounds like a scheduled visit to Casemates should be arranged.
Absolutely no regard for the law, they didn’t stop when signaled to do so; driving underage and with no license or insurance; no regard for other road users, Ignorance is bliss!
They are heading for a criminal record and tarnished future at an early age!
