There were 12 vehicles taken without their owner's consent, and only two were recovered.

Of the vehicles removed, five were from Pembroke, two from Devonshire and one each from St. George's, Southampton, Smith's, Sandy's and Hamilton parishes.

The Bermuda Police Service would also like to remind members of the public who use the roads for exercising walking, running, pedal cycling in the early hours of the morning or at night that they should be wearing either a reflective vest or items of clothing with reflective material on them. In addition they are recommended to keep a single file and utilise the sidewalk where possible.

Also, pedal cyclists should ensure their cycles have the appropriate reflectors on them to ensure that other road users are aware of your presence on the roads.
