SCHOOLS TARGETED OVER WEEKEND CRM Schools targeted over weekend Hooligans targeted a pair of primary schools this weekend.
But a Police spokeswoman said Police are treating the two break-ins as separate incidents.
In the first act of vandalism, a classroom was reportedly ransacked at the Elliott Primary School in Devonshire. Nothing was reported missing.
And an Apple Macintosh computer was stolen from Victor Scott Primary School in Pembroke.
Anyone with information about either of these incidents or who saw suspicious activity is asked to contact Police at 295-0011.
LABOUR TROUBL DIVERTS BRITISH AIR FLIGHT FLY Labour trouble diverts British Air flight A British Airways flight from Kingston, Jamaica, had to make an emergency stop on the Island early Monday morning after one of the passengers started suffering from suspected labour pains.
The plane, a DC10 heading for London, England, landed at the airport where the 28-year-old Jamaican woman was rushed to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.
She was detained overnight but, as The Royal Gazette went to press, had not given birth. The aircraft was delayed at the airport for about an hour before continuing on its journey.
ONE-THIRD OF LONG-TERM RESIDENTS APPLY IMM One-third of long-term residents apply Just over one third of long-term residents have applied for the new permit to give them permanent rights.
Applications for the Working Residents' Certificate have been received from 424 people.
And of those, 69 have already been granted. The remainder are currently being processed.
It will give those people, who have been on the Island for at least 20 years and have worked for at least 15 of those, the right to stay in Bermuda indefinitely.
In addition, they can seek employment without work permit restrictions and retire here if they wish to do so.
Assistant Chief Immigration Officer Rozy Azhar said a larger number of applications had been expected, following the August 1 start date for the policy.
She added that they had processed the initial forms very quickly but the following applications would take a little longer.
"It is very difficult to know how many there will be because it is very much the choice of the individual,'' she said.
The plan was introduced as an interim measure pending a White Paper on the issue but at the time the PLP warned, if it gained power, would change the rules to protect Bermudians.
