Police have arrested a third teenager in connection with a firearms incident at the Southampton Rangers Sports Club over the Bermuda Day weekend.

A police spokesman said that a 19-year-old male was taken into custody after a warrant was executed at a Pembroke home.

The spokesman said: “Members of the public have provided reliable information which has helped to progress the investigation, and resulted in the arrests made so far. We wish to thank these individuals for their support.

“However, investigators believe there are still members of the community who have information on the circumstances involved in this shooting.

“A situation which could have resulted in tragedy given the number people in attendance at the club when the firearm was discharged.”

Police announced last week that they had arrested a 17-year-old male last week in connection with the incident in which multiple gunshots were reported at 10.15pm on May 24.

While an event was taking place at the club at the time, no injuries were reported.

Another teenager, a 16-year-old male, was arrested on Sunday after a search warrant was executed at a Warwick residence.

Police urged anyone with information about the incident to contact Acting Detective Inspector Anneka Donawa at 717-2250 or adonawa@bps.bm — or to speak with a familiar officer.

Witnesses can also provide information anonymously by calling the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers number, 800-8477, or through the BPS reporting portal, portal.police.bm.
