Detectives are currently investigating five reported burglaries at separate service stations in various locations.

All reported incidents occurred in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday, 22nd April, Sunday, 23rd April, Tuesday, 25th April, Wednesday, 26th April and Thursday, 27th April 2023.

The affected service stations are:

RUBiS Terceira’s, North Shore Road, Smith’s parish (22nd April)

Collector’s Hill Esso Tiger Market, Devonshire (25th April)
RUBiS Causeway (Blue Hole Hill), Hamilton parish (26th April)
Warwick Esso Tiger Market, Middle Road, Warwick (27th April)

So far, bulk items like cigarettes appear to be the main items removed and as such, residents are advised to avoid buying bulk cigarettes or other bulk items from individuals.

Detectives are following all lines of inquiry, including the likelihood that these recent service station burglaries may be linked. However, that possibility has not been confirmed at this time.

Business owners, in particular service station proprietors, are reminded to ensure that their alarm systems and security cameras are in working order.

In addition, members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicious individuals or activities around service stations, commercial premises or homes in their neighbourhoods by calling 211 as soon as possible.

Any persons with information about these recent service station burglaries, no matter how insignificant it may seem, are encouraged to call the Criminal Investigations Department on 247-1744 at the earliest opportunity.

Alternatively, community members can share any information they may have with a police officer they know, or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling their independent and confidential hotline 800-8477, or visiting www.crimestoppers.bm.
