North Side bar held up at gunpoint

| 07/11/2023 | 18 Comments

(CNS): Police are investigating yet another armed robbery, this time at an unnamed bar on Frank Side Road, North Side, on Monday evening. The RCIPS said a report was made to 911 at about 9:30pm that a man, armed with a handgun, had made off on foot with an undisclosed quantity of cash after threatening staff at the bar. Before that, the robber had attempted to rob a man outside but was unsuccessful.

No other details or descriptions of the robber have been given. The police said they were unable to locate the culprit after searching the area once armed officers had arrived at the scene.

The robbery follows a weekend of gun-related violence and the eighth crime involving firearms since Friday evening. The police are already handling three attempted robberies, two muggings and an attempted murder in the space of those four days.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Bodden Town Police Station at 947-2220. 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.

    Frank Sound has CCTV at both ends. If he is on foot, he’ll not be far. If a vehicle was used, it should be able to be identified and tracked.

    We’re not looking for a master criminal here, We’re looking for a run of the mill idiot.

    So silly! Cayman is one of the very few countries in the entire world with an annual budget surplus of millions of dollars every year and yet politicians won’t squash the crime situation by installing HD surveillance cameras throughout the tiny island with human tracking ability.
    I think Cayman politicians like to pretend we’re still in the 1970s and only way to stop crime is via Shirlock Holmes magnifying glass and searching for clues.
    Solution is quite simple… get with the tech era of society

      They just need some decent coppers that perhaps ought to undergo full training in the UK instead of a few weeks in the states.

        Those UK coppers rely on the most heavily CCTV packed surveillance in the eastern developed nations. Let’s start with that.

        Ask people resident in the UK what they think of their policing. Maybe you will get a clue…

      Agreed but it’s probably not poor people committing these crimes, just lazy wannabe gangsters who don’t want to put in a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay. Layabouts who serve no purpose.

        Gosh, no I didn’t, so accordingly we should only have faith in 2.46% of the statistics Gov/PACT is telling us or in making allowances for the (345) factor, do we drum that down a fair bit ? – all tings upsidy down these days 😉
