Weekend burglars take booze, tools and a leaf blower
(CNS): Two bars and a warehouse were burgled over the weekend, police said Tuesday, but did not indicate if they thought the same criminals were involved. Burglars broke into a small storage room at a waterfront bar on South Church Street and took several cases of beverages and a leaf blower. And at a beach bar on West Bay Road, south of Lizard Run Drive, thieves stole bottles of liquor and a safe containing cash from a storeroom, having broken the lock to get in.
In the third incident, burglars damaged the door to a storage warehouse on Goring Avenue to gain entry and stole construction tools and a generator. That theft was discovered on Saturday, 1 July; the other two burglaries were discovered on the morning of Monday, 3 July.
The police are also reminding business owners to use security measures such as CCTV cameras, alarms and security company services, as these can help prevent burglaries from occurring or assist the investigation in the event a burglary does occur.
The weekend crimes are under investigation by George Town CID, and anyone with information is asked to contact 949-4222.
Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via the Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or via the website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Cayman Crime Stoppers website.

Excuse me I know what behoove means there’s plenty of Darren Fleet videos to explain.
And the beat goes on.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This robbery blows!
The police are good at telling us what to do, but how about they get off their backsides and do some real police work by catching all these scum bags who are doing all this criminal behavior? Seems like our force is overloaded with a large amount from one certain island that is also a haven for criminals.
Homegrown crime is truly awful. From embezzlement to thefts and violence.
Police need your help as someone knows who is is! Let help and work with the police.
Check the CCTV at the beach bar. It seemed to catch all sorts of things a few years ago!
My house was broken into about 7 years ago. Gave the RCIPS the serial number on Camera’s Marine radio and other stuff as well as the IMEI numbers on a blackberry phone. Called the RCIPS 4 times to see how they made out as they had a bunch of property they recovered from somewhere and thought some of it could be ours. They never called back from 3 calls. On the 4th call someone finally answered the phone. I asked for the officer that hadn’t called me back. He said she was busy and suggested that i go to Cash wiz and see if they had any of the property.
Police have thrice asked me to report to known thieves addresses, in person, to confront, and retrieve our stolen property, if you can believe it. Shoe is on the other foot here.
