Heavily armed members of the the Bermuda Police department surrounded the home of a suspected fire arms offender. People in the neighborhood were denied access to their homes due to the great danger. This man was arrested 90 minutes after his house was seized by officers who saw him enter at 10 a.m. It is believed that the suspect ran out the back of the house while officers waited for reinforcements. Once backup officers arrived they called for the man to pick up his cell phone before warning him of their entry. Six officers and one canine unit charged the home to find that there was no one inside. A representative from the police department stated “We had confirmation that he was there. We went through the options, we wanted to give the suspect an opportunity to come out. When we entered no-one was in the house and no firearms were found.”This man was later arrested at 2:50pm however the location is yet to be released.
I find this quite scary, I remember when i was younger and there were absolutely no guns in Bermuda. Look how far we have come, going from small island Utopian paradise to a place where police officers walk around with guns. I have to compliment the Bermuda police department, they really stepped up their game on this one and got the job done. I'm very relieved that there is one less gun slinging thug wandering our island.
