Commissioner of Police Addresses Recent Savvy Matter Information Breach

Monday, March 10,2025

Commissioner of Police, Darrin Simons - "Since 2019, the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) confidentially held information about the Savvy matter. That information was recently leaked. The release of confidential information from any investigation constitutes a breach and is of grave concern to the BPS. When a serving, or former officer, leaks confidential information, it undermines the trust you place in us. After this matter was first reported in the media, I initiated an investigation. Confidentiality is not optional. It is a fundamental responsibility of every member of our organization. We remain committed to transparency and accountability and treat breaches of our professional standards seriously. Anyone with information related to this breach is encouraged to contact Chief Inspector Jason Smith jsmith2@bps.bm or 717-0864 or the confidential Crime Stoppers line at 800-8477."

Attempted Theft Suspect Arrested

Tuesday, March 04,2025

Around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, 2025, police received a report of an attempted theft near the junction of the Railway Trail and South Road, Paget. Details are that a member of the public who had advertised an item for sale on social media met a prospective purchaser, an 18-year-old male, at an agreed location to carry out the transaction. However, during the exchange, the 18-year-old attempted to snatch the electronic item being sold. A struggle ensued between the two which resulted in the teen leaving the area empty handed on a motorcycle east along South Road. An eyewitness provided officers with a description of the suspect and the motorcycle involved. Following investigations, the suspect was located in the parking lot of a business near Collector’s Hill Smith’s. He was approached by officers who informed him he was being detained on suspicion of theft. During the arrest, the suspect resisted, and a brief struggle ensued. As a result, he was further detained for assault on police. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the Hamilton Police Station. The suspect has since appeared in Magistrates’ Court and a trial date set. Police believe this arrest may assist with their ongoing investigations into a recent spate of incidents in which individuals selling items advertised on social media, had the items stolen when meeting “buyers”. The BPS urges members of the public to continue being vigilant when conducting these types of sales transactions.
