Thieves make off with 76 a/c units
(CNS): Police are urging the public to contact them if they have any information about the theft of 76 white Comfort Star split air-conditioning units from a vacant lot in West Bay last week. The units were stolen sometime after midday on Thursday, 17 August, and 12.30pm the following Thursday, 24 August. The units were individually boxed and stored in two padlocked containers at the lot on Up The Hill Road.
Police said the thieves cut the padlocks to gain access to the units, which the owner estimates to be worth over CI$14,000.
“The units are likely to be shipped off island or sold within the construction industry on island,” the RCiPS said.
Anyone with any information, or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident, or might know the current location of the units is asked to contact CID at 949-4222 or 949-3999.”

Ohhh, nooohh!
The thieves split with the units!
Which website do you go to when there’s no aircon units in stock?
Only Fans!
police cops going to bring the heat on these cold hearted theives,,,,
never touch a hot a/c unit…
The shipping containers leaving here for Honduras the Philippines and Jamaica need to be inspected by CBC straight up Cayman the presence or organised theft rings is well known and documented in Cayman now the RCIPS also need to get up their A$$es instead of telling victims about “We Have insurance”??WTF The fleecing of Cayman continues unabated !
Probably cooling off somewhere until the heat is off them!
What do you call a man who steals ac units?
An Aircon!
Not cool..
76 ac units for 14k? 200 Bucks each? really? damn these local firms aren’t shy of a little markup of thats all they cost!
$14,000.00. $200.00 each .They got them for a steal! No pun intended. I bought one last year – cost me 3x that. However it is shameful that someone did this. Probably someone who knew they were there!
Someone who knew they were there you think? Fine work there Sherlock.
Yes, probably someone who knew the units were in the locked storage shed. Did you know ? Smartie pants!
There’s a shortage, you know, of all types of appliances. People in Florida who lost everything to Ian have to wait, sometime months, to get it. Lastly, the quality of new “smart” appliances is dismal. My neighbour is returning his 3d washing machine and seeking for the older very basic model.
case will have gone cold by now.
Robbers just chllin bruh.
welll they ain’t sweating thats for sure
How does this happen without anyone seeing a thing?
lol those units are on a fishing boat headed to Roatan or Kingston already.
You don’t steal something in that quantity unless you already have a buyer outside the area.
probably on the boats on prospect drive already heading out. 🤣
No chance because our border control & port authority check all leaving vessels!
lol, surrrrreeeeee
not one person has stopped us when we’ve gone to deep sea fish 30 miles out.
Not EXACTLY sure why, but I find myself confused and unable to digest this with the normal head-shaking gesture I would under normal robbery circumstances. I almost want to continue this post but just can’t find the right words either ….
Should look at doing an asset freeze on the suspects!
Unlocked in a vacant lot. In West Bay. It’s like the fellow wanted them stolen.
From a locked container?
The article said padlocked containers.
Only in Cayman. Small enough island that more than a few people know where these are and who stole them. We’ll see if anyone comes forward. I really hope so.
This will really not be that difficult to solve if the RCIPS and Customs use half their brains and resources.
and therein lies the problem….
I hear that it has been hot in Honduras and Jamaica but that inexpensive relief is on the way.
That’s cold, bro
