(CNS): A man was treated in hospital on Tuesday night for a gunshot wound to his leg after a drive-by shooting on Hawkins Drive in the Windsor Park area of George Town. Police said they were called to the location at about 7pm yesterday, where it was reported that a vehicle had approached a residence and fired multiple shots from that car into another vehicle parked in front of the house, hitting the victim. On arrival, the officers searched the area but were unable to find the suspect’s car or the gunmen.

The injured man was taken to hospital by private vehicle before police got to the scene. He was treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries and has since been discharged. No one else was hurt during the shooting.

Detectives investigating the latest incident of gun violence are appealing to anyone with information to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222.

      Simply answer Elvis they are mixed up in criminal activity too! So why would you think they would Offer any help.The real problem is they frequently given confidential briefings on the outcomes of their very own handiwork which undermines law enforcement and causes mistrust and disrespect for the law which is absolutely terrible and a real travesty of justice.

    The 2021 elections brought us what I considered to be the worst Government in history, with the formation of the UPM, I have to admit I was wrong, it just got even worse.

    From Panton to Julie… “worse to worser” as each were/are supported by the same group of incompetents (minus Saunders).

    Ps. That is not to say that Saunders is any better.

      Saunders is the most dangerous of all, silently planning the overthrow of everything Caymanian to pave the way for a total Jamaican takeover.

        The most perceptive and honest comment posted on this page. Clearly you understand way more than you probably should. The takeover is being executed in front of our faces.

    It’s good to know that the double parking issue has now been solved enough to the extent that we can now have drive-bys.

    Also, serious injuries but is discharged the next day. My understanding of serious isn’t matching the ‘serious’ described here.

      Double yellows just a suggestion, same with speed limits, indicating turns, stop signs, yield signs, littering, tailgaiting, dui, handheld phone use while driving, etc., etc.

    New helicopters, new coast guard department, new firearm response unit, new equipment and well trained dogs, yet crime is out of hand. Why is this the case? I don’t feel any safer today than when they had less. One would think with a bigger force, new equipments and a bigger budget, I should feel safer.

      You can make things bulletproof, fireproof, burglar proof, but nobody has ever come up with anything that makes us Jamaican proof.

      These are all responses to crime. None solve the bigger issue of why we have crime.

      Police chopper can’t fix public beach disorder, neither can a K9 unit…

      We have imported poverty. We allow the wrong ones in (from Jamaica, particularly, but only because of the numbers involved. There’s plenty of white collar scum from N and S America, and Europe)

      Laws haven’t changed with development. E.g. traffic law needs a complete overhaul.

      We have multi generational criminals.

      We have career criminals.

      Cost of living stresses mean more people access, or turn a blind eye to black market issues, poaching, tool theft, shoplifting etc.

        I hear ya. But whether imported by plane or pain, a man should have some form of safety especially in his home.

        The Jamaican culture of breed and dump, means we have generations of feral children who have no guidance from caring parents….and breed and dump is all they know.
        Look at the high school, look at the prison population…95%have that in common.

    Yes yes, but can we please put more police into catching the school run moms doing 45 on the ETH at 7:30am, oh and also the DUI stops set up at the quietest times… like a Sunday evening.

      Numpty. They’re not mutually exclusive, they should be able to do speed and DUI enforcement, and deal with this stupidity.

      Cars don’t get stopped on ETH for 45MPH. Also, I don’t care who is doing the speeding, prosecute them… along with non-indicators, right lane hogs, POS vehicles that shouldn’t be in the road etc.

        I think you missed the sarcasm… maybe the 45mph point was a bit subtle, but DUI screens on Sunday night is a pretty strong indicator of the OP’s intent.

          Not at all, but sarcasm is wasted when it’s not a valid point.

          As for DUI, it is a 24/7 issue in Cayman. There’s literally no bad time to do it. The checks aren’t DUI specific either. They catch unlicensed, uninsured people too.

            If they really wanted to do anything about the issue of DUI, then all they would have to do is station themselves at all exit points of bars, brunches and nightclubs.

            You dolt. A reactionary response and a foolish follow up. The point being made is that not enough is being done on serious, violent crime.

              Serious crime doesn’t exist in a bubble. The traffic issues feed into solving the violent offenses. Numpty.

    We have been recklessly thrown to the dogs by successive administrations, but none so much as the current circus side show. If you have two brain cells to rub together and love Cayman, do something, next election we need new blood, new options, hope for the future.

      The districts with heightened criminal activity, are populated by Mac, Kenneth, Saunders and Seymour supporters and voters.
      That should tell you why no action is ever taken to curb their activities…loss of votes.

        Am…Windsor Park belongs to David and Barbara and half the dump called Prospect is Red Bay which is for the Knight and Sabrina.

        So you can’t blame Kenneth for all of the mess.

      There’s no hope for “new blood” being elected, if the “new blood” candidates are not willing to “look after” the voters who have become accustomed to hand outs from their MP’s who then look the other way .
      Any candidate for certain districts who vows to clean up crime and lawless behavior is not going to be elected.
