Mugger makes off with $5 in daylight robbery
(CNS): A bare-chested man wearing a striped green t-shirt around his face ran off with five single-dollar bills yesterday morning after a daylight robbery outside a grocery store on Crewe Road. The mugger struck around 11:45am Monday (20 July) when he approached a woman who had just left the Crewe Road Mini Mart (Albert’s Floor Centre) at the junction with Belmont Close. The villain demanded money while pointing an object at his victim that was reportedly concealed in white cloth.
It is not clear whether the man was armed or pretending to be but as he demanded the cash, the woman had just placed her bag inside her vehicle, which was parked at the side of the small store. The man went into the bag and grabbed five one-dollar bills before running off in the general direction of the Cayman Clinic.
The suspect was described as having a dark complexion, was shirtless and of slim build, at about 5’10”. He used a striped green t-shirt to cover his face, police said. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call George Town Police Station at 949-4222, or to contact Cayman Crime Stoppers on 800-8477(TIPS).
Five dollars? That’s $1 less than the minimum wage! See? It doesn’t just sound ridiculous. It IS ridiculous, Brenda.
3:21 take some time out and teach him a lesson. Make sure he is inside and play the number. When you have done your job, take the garbage to the bin.
I believe everyone should get a bike cam, a dash cam or the like. Recent “viral” video of a cyclist being attacked by a driver in Texas was of an exceptional quality. If you record an attack, chances are better that a perpetrator would be caught.
Anybody fights back here? All these self defense courses that take place regularly.
As we slip and slide closer to becoming another Caribbean disaster, our leaders live it up and do nothing to address the REAL issues affecting Cayman.
It is not like we did it alone. We have imported all the help we need.
Everyday Caymankind racism.
No. Just everyday Caymankind ignoring of our laws.
Damn! That can’t even buy a kids meal at Burger King. #crackiswhack
Can get you a two for 5 or pick 2 from Wendy’s though
And Popeye’s has their meal deal for TREE NOINTEENOINE!!! Yes that’s right TREE NOINTEENOINE!!!
This is not the first time I see the same post and is hard to believe that the police havent act yet, well not really with their “catch and release policy”
10:10 spill the goods on the presumptious police. You dont have to say if he from back ah yard, just plaster his name. Too many of those rats destroying our land, people and society and we just cant seem to get rid of them.
Dont let the scumbag put fear in your heart, be ready for him, and do a good job.
I met a guy 2 weeks ago who is 21 years old. His mother brought him over from Jamaica on a helper work permit to help with his step father who had a heart attack 6 months ago. He is not helping his step father and finds odd jobs to survive. The awesome thing is that on a helper’s work permit, he’s exempt from rollover.
There are a lot of hungry, poor and messed up people out there, seems like would be a good idea to have a “soup kitchen” somewhere that they could go to get a meal, maybe have some counsellors there to encourage them to find work, maybe liaise with labor board for some available jobs etc etc ?
There are soup kitchens everywhere, a lot of Churches serve it daily from 4pm.
For example, the 7th Day Adventist Church by the GT Hospital and the little church across the road form the GT Police Station.
They’re drug addicts, looking for any amount for their next fix.
They don’t serve what these guys want at a soup kitchen.
A crack kitchen might be more effective.

Not to make light of the situation because I’m sure the victim was frightened… but I can’t wait to read the comments…
Well, have you read them yet?
