Escaped suspect on the run in cuffs
Travis Alexander Ebanks
(CNS): Police are on the hunt for 22-year-old Travis Alexander Ebanks, who escaped from a police patrol car yesterday outside the West Bay Police Station. Ebanks was in custody, having been charged with burglary and theft of a motor vehicle, when he managed to get away from officers Tuesday while still wearing handcuffs. According to the RCIPS, the officers pursued him on foot but he was last seen on Elizabeth Street.
Ebanks, who is from West Bay, is 5’8” and about 167 lbs. He was wearing an orange polo shirt and black denim ¾ length pants.
Ebanks is not believed to be dangerous and does not have a history of violent crime, but police said members of the public should exercise caution and call 911 immediately if they see him. Anyone who may encounter Ebanks is warned that it is a criminal offence to assist a fugitive.
The police said they are also interested in speaking with Alvin Shaquille Ebanks (19) from George Town.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of these individuals is asked to contact 9-1-1 or George Town Police Station at 949-4222 right away. Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via the Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, via the Miami-based call centre of Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS) or online here.
everybody that comment on this yall dont even know him tbh but yet yall have the most to say… stop chatting bout people & tryin scandle them & go find something better to do
Check his FB

You really think he would have took them if he had the choice? LOL
8:52 am, you appear have no sense of humor
When foreign officers misuse and abused their power by using excessive force against and already subdued suspect and are put before the court and are let go with no punishment and local officers are summarily dismissed for minor disciplinary offences and jailed for the very same offence.We should understand exactly who are incharge of this place and understand the type and level of corruption we now must face.
Fits the profile of the village idiot jamming his bass in a nice quiet residential area. Oh, wait, thats about 50% of the population in our nice quiet residential areas.
Sounds like your stuck on this beautiful isle
Commish! Your police force needs revamping! Do it now! Bring in the English!
The mug shot would indicate he has been arrested before. So what’s his rap sheet contain?
The handcuff bandit.
Hes white
The funny thing is there is nowhere to run, only swim. Hard to do in cuffs. Has he been caught yet?
They let him go.
If it was a Caymanian officer he will be fired rightway trust me all others get a promotion!
stop it, troll
This concept certainly does not apply to hit and runs.
This man is my unlce
And….
8.04 that would have been interesting, had he been your Uncle. Not quite sure what an UNLCE is, perhaps United Nations Low life Criminal Elements?
Can you help the police find him?
He should be pardoned for such an athletic feat!
He look like he could give Bolt a run for his money..
was he cuffed in front ? or as proper procedure behind , because try running when you have your hands pinned behind you , it aint easy .
1.07pm the big question is, did you also outrun the police.I think ankle shackles as used in the U.S. are the answer as our policemen are not known for being fleet of foot.
I was cuffed behind
Any consequences for the inept officers who were involved? Probably not, right?
Yes. They will be put in large wet paper bags in front of heroes square and see if they can get themselves out of the bags…
Come on Commissioner Byrne! Make your officers have to answer for this outrageous incident! SMDH! What were they doing???? How does a prisoner escape from a police car? Already in cuffs?
My question exactly!
I can’t imagine it is that easy to run fast with your hands in handcuffs, it would be difficutlt to run through bush and near impossible to scale a fence or wall so…. how did he outrun the police?
One word: Doughnuts
Donuts
Remember American and British spelling differ. I.E. “colour” vs. “color”
Donut is slang everywhere.
I think they were eating their hot breakfast whilst sitting in their car in the handicap spot at Fosters
This is ridiculous. The man is now a fugitive because of outright negligence.
Yes…cops are people too and they will make mistakes… but when detainees can’t be supervised properly, there should be a corresponding punishment for those officers who do not execute their duties with utmost care.
More often than not, the officers responsible for endangering the public are not held accountable for this negligence and their identities withheld.
How is the public supposed to know whether an internally conducted disciplinary investigation will seek to prevent such mistakes from reoccurring?
No bobo, he’s a fugitive because he ran. The police didn’t force him to do that.
Correct bobo, but also because he was enabled by ineptitude of the popo…
How many people in the Cayman Islands have the last name Ebanks?
A lot. But not all family.
Run Forest Run!
Just curious how the RCIPS plans to gather any useful/admissible photographic evidence via their strangely antiquated/overly-pedantic online tip submission form with a low-res 4MB gif or jpg? Seriously….gif or jpg only? What year is this? We live in an age of disposable Snapchat and Instagram video stories that are 10 times the file size and load in milliseconds and could tell you way more than anything on this 45 minute form submission. It’s like we are trying to DISCOURAGE public help. RCIPS are technologically 404.
A handcuffed man in an orange shirt manages to escape from a police vehicle, continues on foot and still gets away from the police?
Only in Cayman right…
Orange is the most visible color that’s why most prisons use it unreal!
Cayman doesnt use orange, you watch too much tv. The only orange they have is shorts at northward
Tell them TV jokers lol…Cayman got some naive dummies from ALL over the world right about now and good news – they should be doubled by 2018! NEW GOV CAN CAPITIVATE ON THEM…BUT NO LONGER THE INDIGENOUS….DONT YOU SEE???
Only in Cayman – nope! It happens everywhere but having said that they are a few pretty pathetic police officers at the west bay station and some at George Town. I hope this new commissioner also insist on the officers going to the gym and maintaining a healthy weight so they can at least catch some of them.
LOL
Makes me seriously question the “fitness” of our popo’s. Lay off the Burger King and Kentucky RCIP.
Can u imagine this, I say shame, shame on them. They need to answer how this could happen
Not sure where you live but cayman does not have orange prison suits, they’re blue.
Got to make the local WB cops so proud.
Yeah it should take the heat off of GT cops from the fact people are breaking into the evidence room or container I should say, right on camera.
You got it 3.22, he didn’t run, he was stolen!!
LMAO
