A 22-year-old man was arrested after being found driving without a licence and having an outstanding warrant, while in a separate matter, a 28-year-old man was arrested for dangerous driving and carrying an offensive weapon in public.
Unlicensed Driver With Outstanding Warrant
A police spokesperson said, “Shortly after 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, 7th June 2026, police officers were conducting stop and search operations on Crow Lane, near Lane Hill, Pembroke, when they stopped a motorcar travelling east, driven by a 22-year-old male.
“Checks revealed the driver was not licensed to operate a motorcar.
“While dealing with that matter, it was discovered that the driver had an outstanding warrant showing in the system.
“He was subsequently arrested and conveyed to the police station, where he was detained.
Dangerous Driving/Bladed Article Arrest
“Around 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, 6th June 2026, police officers were on mobile patrol in the area of Frog Lane, Devonshire when they observed a motorcycle travelling in a southerly direction, at a high rate of speed.
“Officers followed the motorcycle as it continued at high speed towards Montpelier Road, before making a right-hand turn onto Middle Road, in a western direction.
“Officers activated their emergency equipment, but the rider failed to stop and instead went the wrong way down Lane Hill, before coming to a stop on East Broadway.
“A search of the rider, a 28-year-old male, led to the recovery of a knife concealed in his waistband.
“He was subsequently arrested for dangerous driving and carrying an offensive weapon in public.
“It is anticipated that the subject will appear before the courts in due course.
“Members of the public are once again reminded heightened high visibility policing efforts remain in effect in all parishes.
“With the upcoming Bermuda Carnival festivities commencing on Wednesday of this week, please be prepared for delays.”
Such repeat or multiple-offense stacking offenders needs to be given double the punishment by law, and our laws should be changed immediately to establish this. For aeons in Bermuda, criminals have had no fear of the judicial system, and even historically bragged about going to prison. Time to increase prison time, reduce quality of food and living in prison, to reduce the public’s cost on such criminals. If they got gruel or porridge daily instead of KFC and television, maybe they would fear prison.
