WB local shop hit in fourth weekend robbery
(CNS): Police are now investigating the fourth robbery that took place last weekend. This one targeted a local grocery store on Stadium Drive around 3:30pm on Sunday. A man described by witnesses as chubby entered the shop brandishing what appeared to be a steel pipe and demanded cash.
He fled the location on foot with the cash register but was confronted outside, near Scholars Park, by members of the public. The suspect then fled north, leaving the stolen register behind but taking an undisclosed quantity of cash that was in it. He then appears to have left the scene in a white Honda Fit.
The suspect was described as being of chubby build and light complexion, with a black shirt covering his face, a long-sleeved light-coloured shirt and long black pants.
The robbery was the second to happen in West Bay this weekend after a liquor store was robbed Friday afternoon. It was the third commercial premises to be robbed — a gas station was held up on Saturday night in Bodden Town — and the fourth overall — a woman was mugged outside a George Town apartment complex in the early hours of Sunday morning. So far, just one suspect has been arrested.
The robbery is under investigation by West Bay CID. Anyone with information is asked to call 949-3999. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.

Guess the criminals have been paroled Kurt. You better go round them up.
A chubby man in a fit automobile. He should try fleeing on foot more often.
Criminals know the WB station is closed too.
Like that makes a difference LOL.
Just look how much crime happens by Vidette’s or Pop-a-top area – it’s near constant, and that is literally a stone throw from WB station.
True but they still committed robberies 200ft from the WBPS when it was in operation.
They rob at their leisure I see
Rule number one, cardio.
Having a fat robber is disrespectful to criminals who try to be the best criminals they can be!
OMG 😱 what’s going on. The criminals are definitely out smarting and utilising their free rein due to lack of CIPS presence all around. Four (4) robberies and not one interception by the CIPS which will remain unsolved. Is this for real our Cayman. Kenneth forget about Park for and concentrate on CRIME. We need HELP.
What he gonna do, tell ‘his people’…
Maybe ask “his people” to stop…
Ask? Lol
Poorer Jamaicans stealing from rich Jamaicans.
No big ting, move on folks.
