Passenger robs bus driver at knife point
Bus depot in George Town
(CNS): A public bus driver was stabbed and his takings were robbed at knife point by a passenger he picked up in West Bay on Sunday evening. Police said a tall, slim man in his early 20’s, wearing a white t-shirt and dark coloured shorts, who was sitting in the front of the bus pulled out the knife and demanded the driver’s cash as the vehicle was pulling over to drop him off at the junction of Shedden Road and Main Street in George Town. The driver struggled with the robber and was stabbed in his leg as the bus collided with a wall on the roadside.
The suspect then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash in the direction of Elgin Avenue. The driver was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital by private car, where he was treated and released.
Police are appealing for other passengers on the bus to come forward, particularly those who were dropped off in George Town before the incident, which happened some time between 6:45pm and 7:15pm.

The Ministry of Transportation needs to allow the individual bus drivers to install live feed security cameras that are recorded and monitored in real time like buses are equipped with in other jurisdictions.
Too many undocumented immigrants and criminal offences are happening on Cayman’s public buses every day.
Trump really got you…
Undocumented immigrants…..
ya, because calling them what they are “undocumented” true. Immigrants, if they were not born here, again true.
is crazy talk right?
looks like the media really got to you.
illegal immigrants!
Oh my, is there no honour among thieves?

CCTV?
If you are referring to the public CCTV system, remember those cameras only work during bright daylight as no crime happens in the dark.
Taxpayers money given away for fake CCTVs. No one help acountable or
