Stephen Corbishley, the Commissioner of Police, said police’s primary role was to find Chavelle Dillon-Burgess safe and well.

The Royal Gazette reported yesterday that police had searched the Warwick home Ms Dillon-Burgess, 26, shared with lawyer Kamal Worrell and their 18-month-old child.

Mr Corbishley said on Twitter today: “There are lots of things going on that you might not be aware of.

“We are in receipt of social media information, and we do act on it.

“Our goal is to find Chavelle safe and well, and that’s our primary role. These inquiries require us all to work together.”

Community members, who have taken part in a series of searches with police and the Royal Bermuda Regiment this week, headed to Ferry Reach in St George’s to continue their efforts this morning.

Anyone with information about Ms Dillon-Burgess’ whereabouts should call police on phone number 211 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers number, 800-8477.

Search for Chavelle: police at lawyer’s home

Police carried out a search yesterday at the house a missing woman shared with a lawyer.

Officers, some wearing personal protective equipment, could be seen at the back and side of Kamal Worrell’s residence in Warwick at about 1pm.

It is understood Mr Worrell, 39, a defence lawyer, lived at the home on Hillview Road with Chavelle Dillon-Burgess, 26, who has been missing for three weeks. The pair have an 18-month-old son.

A white van with a police crest was parked behind the house until about 1.45pm.

Another police vehicle was parked in a driveway next to the property until just after 3.30pm.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said yesterday: “Police executed a warrant as part of an ongoing investigation.”

He refused to reveal if the search was linked to the hunt for Ms Dillon-Burgess.

The spokesman added later: “The investigation into the whereabouts of missing person Chavelle Dillon-Burgess remains ongoing.”

Police asked for help to trace the young woman more than a week ago and said there was concern for her safety.

Rose Belboda, Ms Dillon-Burgess’s mother, made a public appeal for information on Monday.

Members of the public joined police and the Royal Bermuda Regiment in a series of searches for the missing woman this week.

Teams carried out sweeps of parts of Devonshire and Warwick yesterday.

Lawyer Tyrone Quinn said yesterday he represented Mr Worrell, but declined to comment further.
