At 4:40pm on Thursday, Police received a report of a robbery. The victim, a 22 year old Smith's parish man, stated that sometime between midnight and 2am on Saturday, May 13, 2006 he was walking through Chancery Lane in the City of Hamilton when he was approached by an unknown man who asked for money. When the Smith's parish man refused to give him any, the suspect punched him twice in the head. A struggle then ensued between the 22 year old and the suspect, with the victim's gold chain being taken from around his neck. The suspect then made good his escape. The suspect is described as a black male of slim build, approximately 6'2" tall, wearing a black coat and riding a pedal cycle. Inquiries into this incident are underway. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident or anyone with any information to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.
Marine Advisory
The Bermuda Police Service would like to remind all boat owners & operators to check their vessels on moorings after the heavy rainfall of Thursday. Also with May 24 approaching, we would like to remind all boat owners & operators to make sure their vessels are registered, have the proper safety equipment on board and have adequate fuel, as the Marine Police will be vigilant for any vessels which do not comply. Finally, we would like to urge those out on the water during the Bermuda Day holiday to use their common sense, especially in areas where there is a lot of marine traffic and swimmers.
