Food delivery man injured and robbed by armed gang
(CNS): A food delivery driver was robbed by four masked men on Wednesday night just after he had taken food to an address on Marina Drive, close to Orange Drive. Police said that around 9:55pm the driver was returning to his vehicle when he was approached by the robbers dressed in black hoodies and armed with baseball bats and a machete. One of the men struck the victim’s head with a bat, and the robbers took the small amount of money he had in his possession before they made their escape in what is believed to be a silver Honda Fit.
The victim attended the hospital for treatment and was subsequently released. The robbery was reported to the police at about 12:20 this morning.
Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or seen any suspicious activity in the vicinity around the time of the incident to please call 911 or the George Town Police Station on 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Cayman Crime Stoppers.

Call in Donald trump? A lot of undesirables live here now unfortunately. Invited by so called MPs looking cheap labor . Epic
Trump? Yeah, let’s have a convicted felon and rapist interfere with anything we do 🙄.
When did Caymanians start playing baseballl?
The man gets things done though. No one likes a standup guy, right? no one is perfect. But you have to admire the love he has for his country and people. Something the Cayman Islands would benefit highly from.
can we wall of the projects?
Can WORC and RCIPS and CBC randomly raid construction sites?
what happened the food and what type of food was it?
Ignoramus!
free solution:
don’t deliver to riff-raff neighbourhoods until they improve their behaviour
That’s fine advice, however the owner of the delivery service probably won’t protect their delivery employees by declaring it so; moreover, by what metric do you precisely define the no-go areas, and how do you legally defend that choice?
there’s a difference between fishing on a dock owned by a multi-millionare, hoping this is the spot that gives you dinner
versus violently robbing a worker delivering dinner
the void is displeased with the weak “caymanians” who defend such rotten behavior.
hello again, old friends. we are back.
Which Caymanians do you see defending robberies? You are making scenarios up just to get mad at them, and that is an unhealthy practice. Get some help.
Riff Raff out! Caymanians, we need to take our country back from these thugs. We also need to stop electing criminals and people with low morals to represent us.
I blame MAC and his sycophants that blanket-approved status grants to thousands of people without setting limits on the family members they would ultimately bring in from overseas, and without vetting those family members. The Cayman Islands did not have such blatant acts of criminal violence before those status grants were given. NAU didn’t exist before those status grants were given. We allowed the importation of people from a failed state, where daily acts of violence towards one’s neighbor is a regular event. People who came here desensitized to criminal behavior, saw our trusting society as ripe for the picking and proceeded accordingly. Then you add in those same people having unwanted children who grow up in households where they have no guidance, no structure, no rules and no morals. Now we have our own homegrown criminals. What did we think was going to happen?
Like you, I enjoy blaming Mac for his many sins. I agree that much of the status grants are responsible for the shift in safety and criminal behaviour. However. When did the armed robberies begin? Immediately after Hurricane Ivan, when the dirtbags learned that there was no credible response. There were never limits set upon family joining status holders, its just that in the pre-Mac days, those granted status had a heritage link to the Cayman Islands. Thanks Mac. You make me continually hope that Karma works.
Time goes by. It’s too late. People have been properly granted Caymanian Status who are largely from Jamaica. I have no problem with them, and think they worked hard and deserved their Status. Their progeny, though, in many cases are no so willing to assimilate with the existing Caymanian culture.
Caymanians for the most part, don’t like loud voices, or loud music. We are much too polite, and we are going to have to get vocal to influence our islands back to where we once were. If we can.
These thugs and gangs, they are a mixture of many cultures and don’t appear to much care about what the rest of the islands hold dear. Therefore, I think they should be declared the enemy, and we should empower the RCIPS to do what is necessary to root them out. Otherwise, we are lost.
I was told that the head of the Lodge was granted the most status requests. So everyone blaming Bush needs to also flip the coin over and be upset with that group as well.
The Collapse of Safety: Imported Crime, Imported Corruption
This island was once the safest in the Caribbean. Not by accident, but because its people built a functional society—one with order, trust, and a shared respect for community.
Now? The cracks are undeniable. And the root cause?
✔ Imported labor from failed states—without proper vetting, accountability, or integration.
✔ Imported political corruption—where the same failed policies, failed leadership, and failed mindsets that ruined their home countries are now infecting this one.
✔ Imported criminal networks—establishing footholds in an island that once had no place for them.
What happens when you take a functioning society and inject lawlessness into it?
You get what we’re seeing now.
• Crime is no longer random—it’s structured.
• Gangs aren’t growing naturally—they’re being imported and expanded.
• Corrupt political behaviors that failed elsewhere are now seeping into policy here.
When Leadership Ignores the Problem, the Problem Takes Over
And what do the elites say? Nothing.
✔ They ignore the patterns.
✔ They refuse to acknowledge where the crime is coming from.
✔ They pretend integration is happening when it clearly isn’t.
Because to admit the truth would mean admitting their policies have failed. And worse? That they’ve allowed this decline to happen.
A Failed State’s Shadow Now Hangs Over This Island
This isn’t natural decay—it’s a deliberate unraveling, allowed to happen by leaders who should have known better.
And now, the people who never locked their doors… are wondering if they’ll have to build walls instead.
At what point do they finally admit: “We let the wrong people in, and now we’re paying the price”?
AMEN TO THIS! When are going to admit where a lot of this is coming from? Do we not understand that saying “person from country X” does NOT mean that ALL people from country X are criminals?? Can we not just get better at vetting people before we let them in here?
I think it is dangerous to say the corruption was imported. This stuff is homegrown, and Caymanians are unfortunately willing participants.
It’s domestic crime and corruption with some disposable imported muscle. All the gang leaders are known to police AND born Caymanians. These type of incidents tend to be born and raised (not well) Caymanian youths – see the Cause Lists for more detail.
Yes, they are probably “born ‘ya”. But born to WHOM exactly? 9 times out of 10, they are the offspring or grandkids of Mac’s status grant Caymanians. So basically, foreigners with very little real Caymanian culture in their bones. Other foreigners (read EXPATS), can call them “Caymanians” all they want. They may look like us for the most part.
But as Kendrick says,”THEY NOT LIKE US”.
Social Entropy in Action: The Hive City Syndrome
The armed robbery of a food delivery driver isn’t just another crime—it’s a textbook case of social entropy at work. The steady degradation of law, order, and common decency—where even basic economic transactions are now a gamble between getting paid and getting shot.
Adeptus Ridiculous: “The Descent into Hive City Governance Continues!”
• “Once upon a time, economic activity was considered a foundation of civilization. Now? It’s a high-risk endeavor requiring hazard pay, bulletproof vests, and possibly a personal defense drone.”
• “The criminals operate with impunity because enforcement is either incompetent, outnumbered, or simply uninterested.”
• “And so, society inches toward the logical conclusion of social entropy—where crime isn’t just tolerated but expected, and personal safety is relegated to a matter of luck.”
• “At this rate, we may as well formalize it—new employment contracts: ‘All positions subject to mugging, occasional beatings, and unregulated tax collection by unauthorized third parties. Hazard pay? HA! What hazard pay?’”
Grogg the Ork: “SOCIAL WOT? IZ DAT LIKE WHEN STUFF STOPS WORKIN’ CUZ ALL DA GITZ R TOO BUSY STEALIN’ AN’ KRUMPIN’?”
• “Dis sounds like da start of a proppa Orky society—lotta lootin’, not much buildin’, an’ da weak get stomped. BUT DA FING IS… even Orks keep a bit of order! Otherwise, ya get a fight over every scrap o’ squig meat, an’ dat means no one gets a decent meal!”
• “Ya Humies iz losin’ da plot! Ya lettin’ da runts take over! Dis ain’t even a WAAAGH—it’s jus’ lazy gitz makin’ life harder fer everyone!”
• “If ya wanna live like Orks, at least do it da roight way—MAKE IT A SPORT! GET SOME BATTLE-WAGONS! PUT A BIT O’ STYLE IN IT!”
Claptrap: “WELL, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’VE ACHIEVED A FAILED STATE—BUT WITH DELIVERY FEES!”
• “At what point does ‘Standard Delivery’ include an armed escort?”
• “Does the tracking app now say ‘Your driver is en route… also, please pray for his safety’?”
• “And what happens if the criminals realize that by cutting out the middleman, THEY can become the new food delivery service? Welcome to ‘BanditEats: We Steal It, We Deliver It, You Pay Us Anyway!’”
• “Of course, they’ll charge extra for ‘Unrobbed Delivery’—a premium service where the driver actually arrives with the food intact!”
The Inevitable Decline: Social Entropy in Motion
• Public spaces become hunting grounds.
• Basic economic functions require constant security.
• Law enforcement is either too slow or overwhelmed.
• Crime stops being the exception—it becomes the norm.
This is social entropy in its rawest form—the decay of order into chaos, not by grand catastrophe, but by a thousand small failures, each eroding the foundation of stability until lawlessness becomes a self-sustaining cycle.
Final note : When the political elites are divorced from the simplest realities of governance, the police force has taken refuge from a lawless island and a large part of the island’s criminal underworld all come from the same place to call home , societal entropy is nothing but a certainty)
Key word is *machete* … there should be a database of all crimes caused by machetes and disclosure of country of the perpetrator. See if there’s a correlation to a particular country. Probably the most shocking *machete* attack article on CNS was a guy got hacked by machete at Camana Bay open area. Crazy! Government needs to stop pussyfooting around this meathead primitive violence problem ASAP!
You must be new here. It’s “Caymanian”, more often than not. Machete and cutlass fights are as old as the the first rum-drunk settlors. Not long ago, the RCIPS had to issue a public warning directed at our own taxi fleet, prohibiting the carriage of gardening equipment after sundown.
Some good people live in this area, but the riff-raff problems there are no surprise.
Too many bad actors with no jobs and probably no work permits.
Time for FRU to roll up all riff-raff and deport them in handcuffs and jail them if they are Caymanians. WORC get to work and visit construction sites daily!
The cops are Jamaican
The prison system is Jamaican
The education system is Jamaican
The teachers are Jamaican
The baby daddies are Jamaican
We act surprised that our society is starting to look like that society?
What did everyone think was going to happen?
Not nearly as often as the deflective lore would suggest. HMP Northward is inhabited by Caymanians.
To be unburdened from what has been? The significance of the passage of time.
