Robbery - Around 10pm on Tuesday, Police received a report of a robbery at a Southampton guest property. It appears that around 9:50pm that day two unknown men attended the premises and went to the front desk area where they demanded money, with one of the men brandishing a blunt object. Both men subsequently left the property on foot with a quantity of cash. No one was injured. The suspects are described as two tall back men of medium build. An active investigation into this incident is underway.
There was a heightened Police presence in the area at the time as officers had been made aware of two men riding a motorcycle in the vicinity with a covered license plate. In fact the Bermuda Police Service has increased patrol resources island wide including in the City of Hamilton for the Christmas period. We continue to encourage businesses to take proactive crime prevention measures such as leaving a small float or ideally no float on the property overnight, as well as installing a panic alarm and CCTV system on the premises. The public can also assist in deterring criminal activity by reporting any suspicious individuals or activity to Police at the earliest opportunity.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the Middle Road, Southampton area around 9:45pm Tuesday or anyone with any information to contact the Somerset Criminal Investigation Unit on 234-1010.
