Security alert

We have received the following information concerning a known criminal, recently released from prison who has been known to target homes on Paradise Island and in Nassau:

His name is Jeffrey Etienne, also known as ‘Spiderman’. He climbs up the outside of buildings, and tries door and window handles until he finds one that opens. He steals cash, jewelry and small electronics like phones and laptops. He does not take televisions. He operates between midnight and 4 am or 5am. He is not known to be armed and has not attacked anyone. He wears short pants and no shirt, so is hard to grab hold of. He has a tendency to jump in the sea if cornered.

The police are very keen to catch him themselves and ask anyone who sees or hears anything not to approach ‘Spiderman’ but immediately to call the police at 363-3011 or 919 and notify security on 327-6943.

Dengue fever prevention guide

Residents may find the following information useful that was provided to us for sharing:

Dengue is caused by the bite of a female mosquito (Aedes aegypti).  The mosquitoes love to live with us.  They are domestic creatures. They rest in dark, quiet places – mostly in our houses (restrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, closets and under furniture).Folks, the only way that we can rid ourselves of dengue is to get rid of the mosquitoes.  The only way for us to do that is to break their life cycle.  We have the authority to EVICT THE AEDES from our homes!I have attached some information for you to use and to send to your friends.  Each of us has a responsibility here.  It takes no more than 10-15 minutes of our time to walk around our yards and remove ALL standing water.

  • Cover or tightly close water containers.
  • Empty all other containers and turn them top down.
  • Seal, wells, septic tanks and soak-aways properly.
  • Dispose of garbage properly.
  • Remove water in plant plates, clean and scrub the plate thoroughly to remove mosquito eggs.
  • Change water every two days.
  • Clean and scrub the inner side of the vases.
Leave your windows open during the night (only if you have intact screens at your windows) to allow fog (from Environmental Health Services) to enter your home.If you grow plants that hold water in its centre “cup” (like bromeliads) or have any other water reservoirs in your yards (like pools, fountains, or small ponds), Environmental Health Services will provide you with larvacide (a chemical to kill mosquitoes during the development stage).  The only requirement is that you collect it!

Use of vehicles on common roads

There have been numerous concerns raised about the use of unlicensed motorised vehicles, golf carts, go-carts and scooters within Sandyport that are not normally used on public roads. As such, we require all Sandyport residents that own such vehicles to follow these guidelines:

  1. All vehicles must be adequately insured against third party damage and injury
  2. All operators and drivers must hold a valid Bahamian driving license
  3. All drivers must act in a responsible manner so as to not be a hazard or nuisance to other residents

Failure to meet these guidelines will result in the vehicle being prohibited on common land, which includes the roadways, until further notice.
