North Side bar held up at gunpoint
(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.

well the person was smart enough to rob a bar – where people invest a lot of their money –
Don’t allow them to change their plea to guilty now they have heard the evidence, let them serve their full sentence.
unnamed bar? no details or descriptions????
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
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.
You think infrastructure is on a crutch now ?, wait until the next big storm comes through, there were less than half the people now than during Ivan.
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…
Don’t you know, the criminals know, politicians are soooo busy changing public holiday names LOL
RCIPS, should be embarrassed that this is being allowed to happening. Where is the police presence?
Its out of control. Hello? Anyone gonna address the nation? Do anything? Something? No? Thought not,soon pass right?
Oooh we can light candles right?
There are more poor people in Cayman than ever before. Crime will continue to rise.
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.
Assuming a population of 100,000, 8 firearm crimes over the weekend, – there’s only a .008% change an individual might be affected, everything cushty… isn’t that Wayne/Ms Owen ?
You know that 97.54% of statistics are made up right?
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 😉
Only one bar on Frank Sound Road. Need to catch this guy.
