A law banning antisocial loiterers from gathering in Sandys has been extended to White Hill, police announced this morning.The law was first announced in May as part of a bid to prevent antisocial behaviour on Cambridge and Somerset Roads, an area known as 'Gun Alley'.“It is necessary for the Bermuda Police Service to exercise these powers as a direct result of the consultation that has occurred with community leaders and others who live within this community,” said Chief Inspector Robert Cardwell.“They have essentially pleaded for assistance to rid this community of the antisocial behaviour exhibited by groups who congregate and cause alarm and distress and I have received letters from members of this community to this effect. The antisocial behaviour exhibited is evident in reports of drug dealing, public alcohol consumption, loud music playing and the general disrespect shown towards the area residents all of which contribute to the alarm and distress of these residents.”The law is in keeping with Section 110 of the Criminal Code Amendment Act and will be in place from 8am on Saturday until 11.59pm on Friday, September 21, he added.It specifically applies to the areas of Middle Road between Spring Benny Road and Farmstead Lane; Spring Benny Lane, Spring Benny Drive, Spring Benny Road, White Hill View, Rockywold Drive, Rockywold Road, Butterfield Lane, Woodlawn Road, Fairhaven Lane, White Hill Lane, Farmstead Lane “and any public place contiguous to any of these roads”.Persons under the age of 17 who are found in any of the areas mentioned above between 9pm and 6am will be taken home to their parent or guardian. Police will turn the child over to Social Services if necessary.The penalty for anyone convicted of an offence under Section 110 can expect a fine up to $2,500 and/or three months in prison.Added Ch Insp Cardwell: “It is our intention to assist this community and return the community back to its residents as was successfully done on the previous occasion we exercised these powers on Cambridge Road in Sandys.”A map clearly indicating the affected areas will be published in tomorrow's edition of The Royal Gazette.
