Police intercept youths targeting cars in Pembroke
Around 7:25 p.m. on Sunday October 11, 2026, police attended North Shore Road and Ingham’s Vale, Pembroke, following reports of juveniles throwing eggs at passing vehicles.
Officers seized a quantity of eggs and detained two juveniles at an abandoned building. A third juvenile fled, but later attended the Hamilton Police Station.
All three were arrested for throwing missiles and bailed to their parents.
Egg throwing is usually associated with the approach of Halloween which is just over two weeks away. While it may seem a harmless prank, throwing eggs or any other items at moving vehicles, poses a serious safety risk and can cause extensive property damage.
The Bermuda Police Service encourages parents and those with authority over minors, to pay close attention to what, if any items they take with them when leaving home during evening hours. Do not hesitate to check backpacks or bags if your suspicion is aroused.
Shopkeepers are advised to challenge bulk purchasing of eggs by juveniles in the lead up to Halloween.
Residents and motorists alike are urged to be on the lookout for persons throwing eggs or other projectiles at passing vehicles.
Should you witness this anti-social behaviour please, immediately call 211 or, the main police number, 295-0011.
