Police have thanked the public after the National Heroes holiday weekend passed without any major incidents.

The Bermuda Police Service stepped up their presence on the roads and at events across the island and although they made a number of arrests, there was no significant criminal activity.

Darrin Simons, the Commissioner of Police, said: “On behalf of the entire staff of the Bermuda Police Service, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the public for their co-operation and support over the just concluded National Heroes Holiday weekend.

“Your assistance combined with guidance provided by our officers helped ensure a relatively peaceful, near-incident-free weekend.

“That speaks volumes given the multitude of social events which took place across the island, starting on Wednesday of last week.”

He added: “I should also point out this outcome is another demonstration of what can be achieved when the community and police work together.”
