West Bay man on licensed release on the run
(CNS): Joshua “Patchy” Ebanks (30) from West Bay is wanted by police after he removed his electronic tag and breached the terms of his conditional release from HMP Northward. Officers are appealing to the public to help them find Ebanks, as he will now be returned to custody to finish serving his sentence.
Police said he has a history of involvement with guns and should not be approached but treated as violent and dangerous. Members of the public are asked to call 911 immediately if they see Ebanks, who is also being encouraged to turn himself in at the Cayman Islands Detention Centre or the nearest active police station at any time, day or night.
The RCIPS said that anyone helping him to avoid the authorities or to obstruct, mislead or act in such a way as to prevent his apprehension is committing an offence. If prosecuted, they could be liable on conviction to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for two years or both.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts 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. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to caymancrimestoppers.com

A sterling example of the Caymanian education system. And people wonder why expats get the jobs?
This has nothing to do with the education system. This has to do with parenting and the absence of fathers.
Ask AI to decipher this rant but it couldn’t. Lol
Sigh.
Another misguided individual who chose the career path of ‘wannabe’ gangster.
How high is this guy in the mugshot?
Patchy: “yes”
So gun idiots get tagged now? No wonder you all loosing the fight doh.
Please help me understand. How is a man the police describe as violent and dangerous allowed to walk amoung us?
Idiot!
Well that was a dumb decision – on the run on a 70+ square mile island while being fortunate enough to be out of prison on release. sad
Bobos and family sheltering, aka aiding and abetting
“Police said he has a history of involvement with guns and should not be approached but treated as violent and dangerous”
But someone thought it was a good idea to release him in the public with an ankle monitor (LOL)!
He is probably already in a canoe on his way to the mountains in Jamaica.
Scorpion stings frog….what did you expect?
The allusion may be lost on some, but it is very apt; the conclusion of the story is that you can’t blame a scorpion for being a scorpion, no matter what it promises.
Seems strange they didn’t say what he was convicted of. It would be fun to know how many people are among us with ankle bracelets and what their crimes were.
Cayman needs a much bigger prison, or an exchange program with UK pens. Dangerous recidivists are being released into our community, at less than half time served, with sole parole hearing criteria being that someone else needs their bunk. This is someone known to be armed and dangerous and they released him to West Bay. The honest and law-abiding population of Cayman doesn’t want to sell everything and leave their homes in the Cayman Islands, but we read things like this everyday where we really wonder if we can accept decisions like this and continue raising a family safely here.
We have $42 million to build a new private jet terminal but don’t have the money to build an extension to the prison.
CCTV- Has never worked and is totally useless. Contract supplied by Security Center
Ankle Tags – Has never worked and is totally useless. Contract supplied by Security Center
Anyone else see the pattern? A private company emptying the government purse with sub-standard service.
Who’s getting paid to continue this scam?
Drug evidence lockers…single vehicle DUI politician crashes…nightclub executions…bank robberies…CCTV recordings in Cayman are selectively operational!
And I am fed up with reading “Jamaican National living in Bodden Town”.
Well in this case it’s a Caymanian living in West Bay. Feel better now?

Government Buildings security also only supporting permit holders Teton big official contracts with interesting shareholders !!!
It’s 2023. Why are RCIP using such poor and easily bypassed ankle tags?
Sorry dumb question. The only reason is lodge back handers and bribes to continue giving money to friends.
RCIP have been using that system for years with countless breaches.
It’s not RCIPS who administer it, they’re just the lucky agency that get to respond to the units when they fail or get removed.
Another one of those pesky foreign gang bangers. oh sorry, my mistake.
Having Ebanks as your last name doesn’t make you Caymanian bobo.
Plenty of Canadians knocking around with those names for example.
Who is he really fah?
Oh shut up
Well in this case it does. x
I mean, LOOK at him! He’s Caymanian born. Might be some Ryan in him.
Are you seriously trying to imply this muppet is Canadian or are you trying to be funny?
Because early release on conditions was always a good idea for a man with a history of firearms and considered violent and dangerous. What could possibly go wrong?
He’s related to such and such whose mammy is friends with so and so who has a high position in government. As a result, he’s let go because he’s really a good boy who was bullied.
