McRuss grocery store in West Bay

(CNS): Police are on the lookout for two tall, slim men who robbed the McRuss grocery store on Mount Pleasant Road in West Bay shortly before 4:00am Saturday. It was reported that two masked men entered the shop armed with bladed weapons and demanded money from the staff. After taking an undisclosed quantity of cash, the men left the location on foot towards Mona Lisa Way. There were no reported injuries as a result of the incident.

The matter is currently under investigation by West Bay CID. Anyone with any information is asked to contact 949-3999. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS confidential tip line on 949 7777 or the website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to the Cayman Crime Stoppers website.

    What do we expect when our “so-called” leaders are doing the same thing???

    500m from the police station. Says a lot about the deterrent RCIPS poses. Marcus’s should put their CCTV footage on YouTube along with a diagram showing how far the store is from the police station – maybe then RCIPS will be shamed into doing something, like with the recent gangsta interviews.

    Still no very loud alarm triggered. Wake up the neighbourhood. Maybe then someone will see something.
    Immediately publish a clip from security cameras. Maybe someone recognises something.

    Must be too close to the police station to care? No one cares about the police because they don’t care themselves.

    When I shop in the US I probably get on camera ten times – in a parking lot, upon entry, inside, checking out, upon exit etc..
    We get security cameras screenshots published in the local media the same or next day the criminal activity took place. Every step the perpetrators made is captured by security cameras.

      Yikes, suggesting some 1’st world security to a 3’rd world mentality will not go down well here.

        Just as I thought… Logic has no meaning for about 50% of this audience. No wonder Cayman makes slow/little progress. Uneducated/uninformed electorate = uneducated Ministers.
        Stop complaining – you’re the cause!

      Yes, but even with cameras, officers have to actually DO SOMETHING. Cayman has become a community of complainers who do nothing to improve their situation – even when it is within their power to act.

    Honestly there is like a 17% chance of this exact crime happening at this exact hour to any of the few 24 hr shops.

    Meanwhile the wanna be Rambo JDF rejects were 117% snoring as the higher ups in RCIPS seem to only care about positioning police officers where they can acquire maximum speeding ticket revenue ie the straightest highway in george town on cool sunday mornings.

    Go check LPH on a Sunday morning 50% chance you’ll find police on the shaded side of the road a mile down the straight after you turn the corner.

    It’s so weird how giddy they get to walk into Tortuga at every opportunity they get with their pistols proudly displayed for the tourists (because concealed carry isn’t a thing) and standing up like actual soldiers, almost as if it’s a nostalgia hit for them straight from home.

    I can’t help to think that some of our robberies are either:

    a. Inside jobs;
    b. Certain groups of work permit holders who don’t have work;
    c. the unemployed residents; and
    d. All of the above.

    However, I don’t have much confidence that our RCIPS will ever solve most of the crimes occurring in our country.
