Woman mugged by robber on a bicycle in GT
(CNS): A 40-year-old woman was robbed by a suspect on a bicycle armed with a knife in broad daylight, Friday. As the woman walked along Seymour Road in George Town, close to the cement factory, at about 11:30am the man rode up and grabbed her hand bag from her shoulder as he brandished a knife. On seeing the knife, police said, she let go of the bag which had cash and other personal belongings inside. The robber then cycled off with it towards North Sound Road.
Despite calling out to other people no one came to help her at the time of the ordeal. She described the man as short, with a dark complexion, plaited short hair and a small beard under his chin. He was wearing jean shorts and a black T-shirt.
Anyone with information is asked to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.

The other day the police knocked on my door saying my dogs had been chasing people on bikes. This really shocked me, it has to be someone else’s dogs. Mine can’t ride bikes.
Why would it matter that victim was 40? Relevance to anything? Ffs our cops suck.
Good old Seymour Road.
No help from others nearby in Cayman… No surprise.
Singapore high tech surveillance across the island is the solution and CIG is flushed with cash to cover the cost. It’s that easy. Likely another single parent mother raised this kid with no Denzel Washington father ass whooping discipline in his life.
We did that already, but DPP prefers firsthand witness testimony, the least reliable type of degradable account, and most prone to defense dock intimidation. Welcome to the Wild West. Rigged for crooks.
And compare the footage with what?
Caymaica!!!
This really bothers me, as it has become all too commonplace. We just shake our heads sadly and quietly thank God it didn’t happen to us.
Laws are for those who follow them. Read that again. The law-abiding citizen has no self-protection. Not really. We are alone in our environment without a lick of help against the shitbags of the island. They know it too, don’t they? It’s not the RCIPS fault. They get a call, respond, the deed is already done.
I wonder why we cannot get a chain-of-custody of CCTV videos that track the criminals from the crime scene to wherever they go. We certainly paid a lot for it. Is it a software problem, or a human interface problem, or maybe just a metaphorical shrug problem.
I am sick of it. We should have some tools — and I’m not talking about guns, at least not yet — if the police can’t protect us from the criminals. More patrols, visibility of officers certainly makes a difference, although I’m not so certain that police cars/trucks which are lit up and announce their presence from miles away are really a good thing.
We should be able to have registered cannisters of capsicum spray. We should all be able to carry hefty walking sticks or canes without the threat of excessive force for shitbags who attack us. If someone attacks you, it shouldn’t be considered excessive force to beat them unconscious. They started the crap. Do we roll over like Golden Retrievers and paw the air and beg for leniency? No, and hell no.
I am not espousing vigilantes. I want us all to hang together more than we have. We used to stand up for each other, and then the ‘each other’ got too diverse and too big. Well, let’s draw the line between law-abiding folk and not.
Could I go to jail for carrying a smooth rock in a sock as a defencive weapon?
8:25 pm. we agree with your statements 100 percent.
question for rcips, commisoner byrne, and governor?…
how many cyclists have been tickets at night for failing to use lights on their bikes???
will wait for answers.
Hope you have loads of time..
said this before…this i s a pure result of cops not enforcing basic rules of the road….eg. cyclists must have lights on at night. if they enforced this, the many scumbags on bikes would not be on the road
likely wasnt too dark at 1130 am
Where are the police when you need them?
They don’t do shit here.
KFC, Subway, Corners, Wellies, Chill Spot…..take your pick
