Cayman News Service

(CNS): There were several more car break-ins around the Grand Harbour area over the weekend and on Monday night, CNS has been told by residents. As police continue to tackle this ongoing problem, one man was arrested and charged last week. He has since been bailed but a spokesperson for the RCIPS said there is currently no evidence to suggest that one person is responsible for all of these offences.

All incidents of theft from vehicles that have been reported are under investigation, and owners are being advised to be vigilant by always locking their vehicles and keeping valuables out of sight.

Anyone with information about vehicle break-ins or other crimes 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.

    Cops aren’t even on the road in the morning during the speedster drag race to work before 7am so why would they be out at night on patrols? The RCIPS do not care about us.

      on a bike with no lights.
      keep saying it…if police enforced the bike light laws it would remove many scumbags from the streets.
      they are also a danger to motorists and themselves.
      how many people have been fine for not having a light on their bike?
      i will wait for answers.

    May I request that every time a person is arrested/apprehended/charged with a crime, can we please have their nationality and immigration status published.
    I am an expat here from the UK and everywhere I go I am fed up with hearing Caymanians blame ALL of the crime and bad behaviour on immigrants.
    Can we get the true picture by having this information please?

      Doesn’t matter what is printed, 9:14, the Caymanians who believe all crime is committed by non Caymanians won’t believe it. They are like Trump’s idiotic election denying MAGA supporters. 90% of the crime here is done by Caymanians but of course given all the screwing and interbreeding that has gone on here in the last 45 years many of the offenders have a foreign, usually Jamaican, connection. But they were born here, “ raised” here and “ schooled” here and know nowhere else as home and are Caymanian under our immigration laws ( even though the Make Cayman Great Again bunch deny this).

          Hmmm, @8:01, I thought the remark about Trump’s supporters by the poster @ 4:03 was very apt. He and his MAGA folk deny reality and swear black = white, up=down, truth = lies, facts = fiction, just because Trump says so. The people here in Cayman who place the blame for most crimes on foreigners are similarly deluded.

        You forgot tgatcalot of the Caymanians have Hondurus connection. Go and read the history. The Janaican connection you speak of those generations diedcand gone. The connection is now more with Honduras.

          12:02, you are right, there is and has been for a long time a Honduran connection and it has produced some rotten apples for true. But please do not think these many young Jamaican laborers we have here….mostly law abiding…. are not finding willing Caymanian girls with no self esteem to breed with. The resultant kids are often poorly raised etc and some become major problems but they are Caymanian.

          12.02am You must be dreaming. Our schools and jobs are full of Jamaicans. 60% of population is from there and only native Caymanians dying.

      I can venture to say that this particular (repeat) offender (multiple, multiple times) is a 45 year old CAYMANIAN male, who believe it or not is from a wealthy family. Whether they have turned their backs on him or what, I don’t know. They will lock him up for a little while and the car break-ins stop; upon his release, they resume from like the first day. It is rather unbelievable. It’s his crime of choice. Breaking car windows, leaving good DNA sample. I wonder if he is sending a shout out to his very WEATHY, developer father??

        He has been a thief for decades by his own choice. I offered him a well paying job years ago and he said he was ‘too good for that type of work’.

        I would expose both his and his father’s name but it will not be published will it? Why? Seems like no matter how many hundreds of crimes he commits neither the police deal with him until publicity forces them to do so, nor will the courts put him away for a very long time even when convicted of multiple acts of criminality.

        My neighbour and I chased him down years ago and made him know in the most straightforward of terms that his presence would not be tolerated in our neighbourhood. When people have to resort to taking such steps it is an indictment not on the individuals who have been forced to take matters into their own hands, it is an indictment on a system of law and order which is derelict in duty and is not fit for purpose.

      @ 9:14 a.m. Good point.

      I will never forget how the Jamaican nationality back in 2003 to 2007 were blamed for all crimes in Cayman. So it was decided to not renew or issue work permit to a particular category of people and by that time Jamaicans were now required to have visa. In 2007 or 2008 there was an exodus of Jamaicans who left Cayman. Surprisingly the crime continued and even got worse. No we all knew of the Jamaican exodus and so the news by then had started to name the district the criminals came from as they were no longer pin pointing fingers at that particular nationaly after the exodus of the lower level Jamaicans.

      So yes we need to hear the nationality of these criminals so we can know where the problem lies and fix it.

        11.58pm If there was exodus we Caymaians wonder how 60 – 70% of people here now are still from there. The Visa system was also watered down to appease them.

      To 9.14 And in the UK you blame the crime on who? Expats or as they are called ‘immigrants’ Go figure.

    If cars are being broken into, and presumably damaged in order to do so, isn’t it better to leave the car unlocked? Then at least the thief can rummage around, find nothing, and leave the car undamaged.
