(CNS): Burglars smashed a front window at the Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman (WORC) offices overnight and got into the government department on Mary Street, making off with undisclosed items. Police confirmed that the office was burgled overnight but they could not yet say what was taken as the investigation was still underway.

WORC confirmed that the office was closed Monday morning and only reopened for partial service in the afternoon. However, officials said that normal business hours are expected to resume at 8am tomorrow.

    They obviously forgot to sign the application they submitted and just wanted to get ahead

    Probably just using self help to recover the refund they have been owed for months, and grew frustrated by the fact that no one would take their calls

      Or a Caymanian needing to go and get their future back, which WORC had helped others to steal.

      Absolutely. Not a chance they can find one on the dysfunctional jobs.ky portal which is totally unfit for purpose.

    Since when did WORC have anything that someone else wanted ? Its just a repository for hot air and broken promises.

    In fairness at least these lads wore masks. These offices have suffered daylight robbery for years but no one arrested/no missing wages recovered.

    “Officials later confirmed that stacks and stacks of unprocessed applications from displaced tourism stipend recipients, regular unemployed people, people seeking change of employment and other applicants were among the previously “undisclosed items” taken from the WORC offices on Mary Street.

    A spokesperson said that it would not be surprising if some person or persons soon started using the information on the applications and make efforts to connect applicants with potential employers.

    The spokesperson, however, went on to emphasize “we would like to caution the public not to attempt to take matters into their own hands. Actively working to find work for other people can be dangerous to one’s health and WORC would not wish to see anyone get injured”.
