Gunman makes off with bag in doorstep robbery
(CNS): An armed masked man made off with a bag containing personal items after a doorstep robbery outside a George Town home early on Tuesday morning. The victim was outside his house on Greenwood Drive at around 12:30am when he was approached by the masked robber, who appeared to be carrying a gun. The robber demanded his phone, and the victim threw a bag at him and quickly entered his home, police said. The robber tried to follow the victim inside but was unable to gain access. After he left the man found that the bag he had thrown at the robber was gone.
The suspect was wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt, dark pants, and a mask.
The matter is currently under investigation and anyone with any information is asked to contact George Town CID at 949-4222.

Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Miami-based call centre of Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS), or online.
So the victim was followed home?
Thumbs down… why?
Where were the police when this man needed them? When are we going to acknowledge and accept that we can’t rely on the police to be responsible for our personal safety and the safety of our families?
This man was just lucky that he was able to get away.
Oh come on – do you expect the police to be at every address in Cayman waiting for something to happen?! – Get real
That is exactly the point made in the comment that you responded to.
Um, no it wasn’t. Lol
The robber was lucky that he picked easy prey. These guys will once again pick their match and it won’t turn out good for the bad guys.
Ah yes, the good guy with a gun theory. smh
Come back and comment when it is you or your family on the receiving end of these violent criminals.
You don’t always need a gun to protect yourself. Lot of people have a variety of skills including 1. knowing how to overpower a larger person learnt through martial arts/self defence, 2. taking a gun away and disabling it, or 3. just plain luck and the house is rigged just like in home alone.
That also wasn’t a theory. It did happen in Cayman and has happened many times over around the world.
9;05 what if the police was watching your house 24 seven !
