Cash taken in armed, daylight robbery
(CNS): A man was robbed on Friday afternoon of an undisclosed quantity of cash, described as “large” by the RCIPS, by two men, one armed with a gun and the other a machete. The police said that around 3:45pm, the victim was walking to his car on Jasmine Lane in the Spotts area of George Town when a vehicle pulled up next to him with three people inside. Two men got out and demanded money.
A struggle ensued, and one of the men brandished a machete. The men robbed him of a bag containing a large quantity of cash, returned to the vehicle and drove off. One of the men brandished what appeared to be a black handgun as the vehicle left the scene.
The robbery is under investigation by George Town CID. Anyone with any information is asked to contact 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line 949-7777 or the website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Cayman Crime Stoppers website.

Not the first time at this particular address if memory serves.
he should look carefully at his inner circle! someone knew you were carrying a “large” sum of cash.
This should be easy to solve – just look at who got out of prison after serving 2% of a ridiculously lenient sentence for a previous armed robbery
A vehicle description might help jog memories for those who didn’t see the robbery occur. Then again, seeing stupid driving doesn’t even register anymore, so I probably wouldn’t notice a fleeing criminal any more than I notice a construction worker in a hurry.
RCIPs – Get the gangs, hoodlums and thieves off the streets and put them in jail.
Make mandatory 5-year minimum jail sentence and asset forfeiture for aiding and abetting these criminals.
Playing pattycake with them through light sentencing and non-prosecution of them doesn’t work.
Hmmmm…..what’s the chances that they just stumbled on the right person carrying a large wad? Smells like an inside job to me.
Duh. Carry cash around and you risk being accosted. Carry a large amount and you risk being robbed with threats or violence. So why carry large amount of cash, you don’t trust the banks ? And then we wonder whether it is legit money. Let the conspiracy theories begin.
Duh. So now its you fault if you wear a nice watch, or jewelry, or an expensive car, or wear a short skirt…
Your attitude is offensive and dangerous. EVERYONE is entitled to their security and that of their possessions.
That’s not the point. I wear a backpack on my motorcycle yet you can’t tell if I have 20k cash in there or not.
The point is that this smells quite fishy and like others said, an inside job. A stupid idea, but entirely possible to sell someone something like jewelry for a large amount of cash, leave the secure location, then they tell a “friend” to follow you in a separate vehicle.
I would encourage the FRU to use lethal force when apprehending these thugs. If they show no respect for human life, we don’t need them clogging up the court systems. I will help dig the grave.
Hand be a shovel and i’ll gladly help you. There is no fixing some people. These criminals will never change.
Paradise definitely lost
