Burglars smash their way into jewellery store
(CNS): Burglars made off with a large amount of jewellery after they smashed their way into a store on Goring Avenue around twenty minutes past midnight on Friday. The 911 centre received a report of an alarm going off and dispatched the police, who found that burglars had broken into the store by smashing the doors at the front entrance and then breaking several glass cases to get to the jewels. The RCIPS said the specific items that were taken are still being determined. Although police did not name the business, the only jewellery store directly on Goring Avenue is Diamond Marquis.
The matter is currently under investigation and anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information is asked to contact George Town CID at 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or the website.

Did the diamonds heist that took place in Camana Bay circa 2016 ever solved? I heard the news once about two thieves hitting the jewelry and never heard back if they were arrested.
Gold Royale all over again, glad no one was killed this time.
Must have been about 4 “fishing boats” coming and going from prospect drive canal the other day.
Already in Honduras having gone on the boats that bring “fresh fish ” to Cayman
Sounds like a fair trade.
Thats about 100 yds away from both 911 and the Police station LOL
These idiots can’t do much with the stolen property. It’s a small island. Go ahead and post it for sale online… idiots! We’ll be reading about the arrests soon. Hahahaha
You really think they try to sell these goods on the island, with boats in and out daily? This includes the pollution-spewing cruise ships, whose underpaid and mistreated crew members are notorious for handling stolen goods from their Caribbean destinations.
Within 48 hours, most easily-identifiable stolen goods have left the islands.
…and we do the same for them with cash for gold and pawn shops right downtown in GT buying whatever is placed on the counter. Are we so naive to think there are provenance criteria or serial number checks on these portable goods? See CFATF report…
Boats and planes leaving daily.
Bet its bundled with other knicked goods and already gone
With no efficient checks at the airport by CBC will be in a suitcase or carry on and away.
Ummm, … you know all those posts that reference serious criminal links with Jamaica and Honduras, and the near continuous illicit boat traffic between here and those places…?
jamaicans bobo it will be sent outside country nothing about online posting…but with your limited scope of thought lol
Aided by Caymanians
How do you know they’re Jamican, you jack ass? You’re another typical islander that knows it all. Lol
“islander” lmao
please return home massa.
You think it will be fenced here? You’re more fool than the crooks are.
Sound like you think you know it all..
The stolen goods likely went out on a boat trip to somewhere else.
9:53, that jewelry done melted and gone Bobo.
As the economy heads towards recession, incidents such as this should come as no surprise
So silly and simple.
Cayman Islands has a surplus annual budget to afford to qualify cameras all over the island like Singapore to identify the culprits and track them. Cayman is tiny a place no excuses why this can’t be done.
Quite right.
You are right. However, we bought and installed the cameras a decade ago. Right Eric?
What will the cameras do, show a guy wearing a mask with typical skin tone? That’s helpful
License plates and tracking a car’s movement throughout island for a start
Thats a Pandora’s Box we shouldnt be so quick to open. Ever heard of the Patriot Act? Once government surveillance starts, it never stops, and honestly, do you actually think that the fat cats will be followed?
So you’re saying in 2022 that we shouldn’t use modern technology and instead use Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass and clues to crack the case? How many 9/11 attacks were stopped because of modern intelligence?
