Police have arrested nine people in connection with a spate of firearms incidents that have taken place this month.Two men were arrested in connection with the shooting of a 21-year-old on Tuesday; a third man was arrested regarding a firearms incident at Trimingham Hill roundabout on October 5.“This now brings the total number of arrests to nine in connection with these five shooting incidents [this month],” said Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva at a press conference yesterday.“It is too early to say whether any more of these men will be charged that will come down to the strength of the evidence that we are able to put together and a decision from the Department of Public Prosecutions.“What I can say is that the three arrests resulted from tip-offs and information from members of the public.”Shots fired on October 2 began this most recent series of shootings. On that day, two men riding a dark-coloured motorcycle opened fire on The Glebe Road around 12.45pm.Three days later, a Parks Department worker was targeted by two men on a motorcycle while working on the Trimingham Hill roundabout.On October 7, a man suffered a minor hand wound after he was fired upon while riding a motorcycle along North Shore Road, an incident initially reported as a traffic collision.Six hours later, shots rang out near Gravity Night Club in Devonshire.Pelealkhai Williams, 22, and Jonathan Steven Dill, 28, were charged in Magistrates’ Court with attempted murder in connection with that incident.Mr DeSilva said a third person has been arrested in connection with that shooting, but has not been charged at this stage.The Commissioner assured the public that officers will be out in full force over the coming weekend in anticipation of antisocial behaviour surrounding Hallowe’en celebrations on Monday.“I would encourage anyone who usually celebrates Hallowe’en to do so freely again this year,” he said.“The best thing our community can do right now is come together, go about our business in a normal manner and demonstrate visibly that gangs do not run things around here.”However, he asked the public to be patient as officers will be carrying out searches in an effort to stop violence before it happens.He said police have already had several reports of people throwing items, including frozen eggs, into traffic.“Throwing a frozen egg is no different than throwing a piece of concrete,” Mr DeSilva said.“It would be nice to think that if parents kept an eye on their children this year, my officers wouldn’t have to deal with these nuisance problems and we all could get on with the business of investigating serious crime.”Anyone with information about any shooting incident, or with information about gang or gun activity, is asked to contact the police or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers Bermuda on 800-8477.Useful website: www.bps.bm.
