Gun Crime is too serious to ignore
Bermuda Crime Stoppers will launch their latest anti-crime campaign on Monday 27 th
July 2020, highlighting the need for the public to get involved to address the ‘gun
problem’ that has continued to destroy families within our community over the last
few years.
We would like to remind the public of our Reward structure for anonymous
information. Callers are eligible to receive:
Up to $3,000 for information that leads to an arrest or seizure of illegal
drugs, or stolen property, or other unlawful acts within the community
Up to $5,000 for information leading to the seizure of a firearm
Up to $6,000 for information that will help locate missing person Chavelle
Dillon-Burgess
Crime Stoppers Bermuda is asking the public to come forward with any piece of
information, no matter how small, that relates to firearms and persons who may
have access to them. The Bermuda community’s present situation is too serious to
ignore.
Coinciding with this campaign, Crime Stoppers has also launched its new website
www.crimestoppers.bm with a more ‘community and user friendly’ electronic
reporting platform. This was made possible through corporate, private and the
public’s support of the 3 rd Annual BUEI Film Weekend earlier this year, which helped
to fund the new website. With the support of the MarketPlace and Lindo’s grocery
stores, we will be giving away Crime Stoppers reusable shopping bags.
Persons who wish to learn more about Crime Stoppers Bermuda should visit our
website at www.crimestoppers.bm. The website highlights current and past crimes
within the community and current and past promotional campaigns. It is the ONLY
organization’s website in Bermuda that allows the public the opportunity to send
anonymous crime tips electronically. We have over twenty-two years of support
from the community in relation to the detection and prevention of crime, and
during this time not one person who gave information has ever been identified, as
Crime Stoppers do not want your name or details, just your information.
