Boat engines stolen from Brac customs yard
(CNS): Two Yamaha Indro 40HP engines and an Evin Ride 15HP engine were stolen from three boats held at the Customs and Border Control compound on Kirkconnell Street in Cayman Brac over the weekend. All three boat engines were part of ongoing CBC investigations. The culprits also damaged five vehicles, a door and the compound fence.
Police said that the staff had secured the site around midday on Saturday, 3 June, but when they returned just before 9am on Monday, they spotted the damage to a section of the chainlink fence surrounding the compound. They then discovered the rest of the damage as well as the missing engines.
The matter is currently under investigation by Cayman Brac police. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident is asked to contact 948-0331.

RCIPS biggest downfall is lack of diversity. Too much of one nationality, like HSA, leaves people feeling that they are not being protected and the lack of empathy and overall concern for the well-being of the country’s people, EXCEPT, those from the dominant nationality on the force, how can the RCIPS ever be looked at favorably by Caymanians and all other residents who care about the growing degradaton of this country?
Too many Jamaicans here. See them with all over their whole head covered up, only the eyes not covered and most times with dark shades on.Why the Police cant see they up to no good like that ? Jamaican Police ?
Stop employing them. Get people from eastern Europe.
Cayman news is better than an evening sitcom.
Remembering the day when the Brac was the safest place on earth to live. The influx of people who flooded the island from Grand during Covid “found” us and, on a good note, helped to make the properties here more valuable but, on a sad note, it brought in some people who needed to stay away. Never thought I would need to put security cameras on my property but they are on order right now. If you plan on making the Brac a scary place like Grand please stay away or go to Jamaica or somewhere that is already a mess. Brackers can get rid of these horrible people if they desired so be good or be gone!
Another sad indictment of the security standards of Customs and Border Control, when Brac’s thriving transhipment industry are brazen enough to retrieve goods from their adversary’s interdiction compound. At least the CBC officer didn’t use his own keys, that would have been dumb.
The squabs must be biting HAARD!! for dem man to have to break in in order to “borrow” the engines
And with Chief Inspector Kay things will continue to degrade on Brac. Time for him to retire.
Brac Inspector position has too long been a spot to kick back for a couple years – and other than speeding tickets, the police here have to rely on “teams” outside of the island to do investigations for anything.
The crime will continue because police on Brac are too complacent and no emphasis is placed on possible activities after the normal work day closes down at 5 PM
And I am presuming that CBC does not have any sense to have simple security cameras in their compound.
so it appears that we now need security around the admin building compound.
Let me guess, no CCTV?
Wouldn’t matter if there was CCTV they probably wouldn’t look anyway. I have my 250Hp motor stolen off my boat. When i asked if they checked the CCTV cameras they informed me the boat didn’t go by any camera so they didn’t look. I mentioned the boat didn’t the Motor had to and you don’t put a 250 HP motor in the trunk of a car. It had to be in the back of a pickup or deck truck. They still refused to check the cameras as they felt it would be a waste of their time.
