Armed muggers rob man at 7MB car park
(CNS): Two men, one armed with a gun and the other a knife, mugged a man in the Seven Mile Public Beach car park on Sunday night, the police have now confirmed. The street robbery topped a weekend of violent crime in which a couple were mugged and badly beaten on a street in West Bay, another man ended up in critical care after being shot multiple times, and one shopkeeper became a local hero after he chased a gunman away with just a machete.
This time the victim was not injured but was subjected to threats as the muggers held a knife to him and demanded cash. The incident was reported to police at about 11:30pm but the victim reported that it had happened at about 11pm just after he had parked his vehicle. The robbers took an undisclosed quantity of cash and fled on foot.
According to the descriptions released by the police, one suspect was about 5’9″ with a dark complexion and slim build. He was wearing a black hooded jacket, a mask, long black pants and slippers, and carried a black handgun. The other was about 5’6″ with a dark complexion and very slim build. He had on a light-coloured t-shirt and shorts, a black mask and head covering, gloves, and was armed with a large knife.
No arrests have been made.
The matter is currently under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Department 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.

No real surprise here, it is a product of CIG allowing Public Beach to turn into a gong show where anything goes.
CIG needs to immediately clear Public Beach and ban all vendors and soliciting.
Why are we allowing our only assets to be destroyed?
Yeah, but let’s focus on catching the school run moms doing 44mph on the ETH.
they don’t even do that!
I’ve said this here on these message boards for years: IMPLEMENT A PRIVATE PRISON SYSTEM! Not only will it clean up the streets and save millions of dollars, but we will create incentives to keep these animals behind bars for decades where they can actually produce a tangible good for society through WORK. Spare me your counter-arguments about civil rights… these violent pieces of human garbage are not worthy of them when they take them away from others!
if you can’t be an honorable member of society then you don’t belong to be amongst people of society.
They need to start going to Wayne Panton’s house and the elected members. Then we will see something done and they speak out on these treacherous events.
They need bobbies on the beat – police discretely walking west bay road and the beach and car park. Also on the roads it irritates me that the police make millions deliberately pulling over wealthier people and fining them for going 5 mph over the speed limit on a Sunday when there’s no traffic and no danger. I wish they would pull over and fine all the people using the outside lane on the highway instead of the inside and not indicating at roundabouts – that is a worse and more dangerous crime than slight speeding and the police should be pulling these people over and banning or fining them.
Paradise lost?
What is ‘the seven mile beach car park’ as referenced in this article? Which car park?
Maybe read the article? Clearly says Seven Mile PUBLIC Beach car park
So called ‘public beach’ by the Kimpton
A picture is a thousand words where are these beach AV the previous UK COP bought.
Did they “buy” them though?
Future is bright as the INDIGO will have security in the area
If ‘twas Caymanians then JuJu and Dept Education fault.
If ‘‘twas Jamaicans then Caymanians and WORC is at fault.
RCIPS can’t keep up with WORC or Dept Education
Lets bring in a contingent of British police like we did about 25 years ago to add to police numbers and when its sorted then they can go back or stay.
better just go straight to Brazilians with guns
5:08, Let’s just go for direct rule for 3 years before this place becomes Jamaica.
I mean how much more of this are we going to tolerate? Do we want residents and tourists to be fearful of sitting in a parked car at the flipping PUBLIC BEACH?? What the hell is RCIPS doing?? You can’t find armed criminals on a 100 square mile rock with 80,000 residents?? Are they hiding underground? Are they taking the shuttle back and forth between the Brac every day???
You want me to help unna police the island? Ok firstly, how about pulling over every nit wit driving down the Esterley Tibbetts wearing full face and head coverings at 7 AM! You telling they fraid to catch COVID driving in a car by themselves with all the windows down?? If that don’t say “I’m hiding my identity from the public, Border Control, Immigration, Police, the traffic cameras and anybody that knows that I’m overstaying” I don’t know what does!!!
I lol’d at traffic cameras.. as if they actually work.
how much does it cost to keep a police officer at public beach? cant be as much as stories like this damaging out reputation.
Why not just remove criminals from society, or even the jurisdiction?
The refusal of the authorities to enforce our laws, and protect our country and way of life, has to end.
Welcome to PactRock
Actually the issue was spawned by Mac and then continued by the PPM.
But the majority of these criminals
lock up at Northward have ‘Old Caymanian names’ ???? make it make sense!
Imagine believing that Bodden, Ebanks and Bush are Caymanian any more lmao. Thanks for the laugh. Those turned Jamaican about 30 years ago.
Many of them are Jamaicans, including the Caymanians, no matter their family name…
When you understand that, the refusal to enforce the maintenance act, the failure to enforce the immigration laws, and the shitshow the government education system, you will understand the problem.
Perhaps, but you and Catron said that this lot have all the solutions.
Not looking good for Cayman. CIG should have an emergency meeting with the COP asap to device a way to curtail these crimes in a expeditious manner. Please don’t let our beloved Cayman makes it way on the Travel Advisory List because of these morans.
Yes. Seems like way past time to conduct a little “undercover temptation.” Officers dressed like regular folk, getting out of their cars at stupid times of the day, with other officers watching. Not entrapment, just playing a part, and if you catch the criminal fish, then you’ve done a good thing.
