Increased police patrols targeted potential trouble spots last night, looking for everything from grenade-wielding gang members to youngsters throwing eggs.The Royal Gazette was invited to join Constables Scott Roberts and Kyle Lathan of the Police Support Unit as they drove the streets, trying to keep a lid on any trouble.By press time last night, no major incidents had crossed their path, and a police spokesman reported “no incidents of note” across Bermuda.Shift patterns were tweaked so there was a full complement of Police Support Unit Officers (PSU) on patrol for Halloween.“It’s about crime prevention. We will tour the hot spots and if we see anyone of interest, anyone known to the police, anyone up to no good, we will have a word with them,” explained Pc Roberts.“If the law provides for it, we will search them, and if any incidents are reported, we will go to them.”During the time The Royal Gazette spent with them, there was a friendly atmosphere in Pembroke areas that have posed problems in the past, such as Middletown, Curving Avenue, Court Street and Fenton’s Drive.Young ‘trick or treaters’ mingled with adults in fancy dress on their way to house parties many giving the officers a wave and saying “good evening” as they drove past.“It looks like mostly families. There’s not many guys hanging out round here anymore,” noted Pc Roberts, who spent seven months with the Gang Targeting Unit before joining the PSU.“It’s been quite quiet lately, knock on wood, although we are looking for antisocial behaviour such as missile-throwing and egg throwing.”Soon afterwards, however, the police radio operator broadcast a warning to all the units on patrol that “MOB may be in possession of hand grenades”.The advisory, urging officers to use “extreme caution,” was in reference to the Money Over B*tches gang which has been blamed for crimes ranging from drug dealing to gun murders in the west end.Noting that the bulletproof vests worn by himself and Pc Lathan “don’t really have any protection from that,” Pc Roberts explained that officers from the armed response unit may be sent to deal with the issue.Instead, he and his colleague headed to Spanish Point, where they engaged in a brief chase, hot on the heels of a youngster suspected of egg-throwing near Point Mart.The boy and his friends who did not appear to be accompanied by adults ran off before the officers could catch up with them“It pretty much turns into a cat-and-mouse game,” explained Pc Roberts. “He looked young, so more than likely we would give him a talking to and maybe take him home to his parents and tell them what he did. Hopefully some action would be taken.”The eggs would likely have been confiscated too.“If you can’t tell me why you’ve got eggs on you like you’re not cooking an omelette on the street I’m going to take them from you,” noted the officer.There were several other cases of egg throwing reported elsewhere last night, in Warwick, Smith’s, St David’s and the central area.
