Armed men steal cash in midnight robbery
(CNS): Four masked men, two of whom were armed with handguns, robbed a fast-food hut in the Marquee Plaza on Lawrence Boulevard at around midnight Wednesday night. Police said two of the robbers approached the security guard at the location. One was waving a firearm, while the other two went to Al la Kebab, where one of them also brandished a gun at the workers.
The robbers then took an undisclosed quantity of cash from the register before leaving the location on foot towards the rear of the plaza. No shots were fired, and no one was injured during the incident.
Police said the men were all dressed in black, with their faces covered. One of the men who was carrying a firearm was about 5’8″, of dark complexion and slightly stout. The RCIPS released no other descriptions.

Too many guns in hands of criminals borders are neither secure nor protected govt and politicians too busy minding their business opportunities and those their political backers
! Sad what’s happening in Cayman these days this place was so safe.
Ever considered doing card-only transactions ? Then there’s no cash to steal.
Who amongst us goes out without a debit or credit card nowadays ?
Undesirables.
the poor people that can’t afford ANYTHING! Especially bank fees.
Thanks PACT
Maybe 90% of those claiming poverty should stop buying a new iPhone every year.
The bank’s pawns will downvote this, but crypto can have transaction fees of less than a cent.
But if we introduce crypto, suddenly the banks won’t be raking in millions in fees for us to spend our own money that they invest in the background, make good return on OUR money, then give you a spit-in-your-face percentage of the profits in deposit interest.
As with Socialism, it looks good on paper.
At least in Vegas you get a little bounce for you losses.

Good luck buying a kebab with your bitcoins at 3am.
A cash-less society is something to fight back against not encouraged. A few nasty little thugs shouldn’t be the reason we go cashless. We need better policing. Once these little cretins are rounded up they need to be locked up or deported. Stop playing with kid gloves and come down hard on these stains on our society.
My wife and i donte even go out now its too dangerous and she is so so scared. Fact
Why are they not cashless by now?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but these crimes are being – 99.9% of the time – committed by OUR Caymanians. Some just as thieves and others from drug addiction. Jamaicans – 99.9% – come here to work to send money home – not to steal. Hope I haven’t hurt anyone feelings – as the truth often hurts.
3.13pm Jamaicans steal too but just don’t get caught. Also half of our population are Status holders from there.
Well, who gave them status, hmm? And why. If we have politicians giving it away, and if they change the regulations so any gang banger who gets a Caymanian girl pregnant can get PR and inevitably status, what do we expect? Cant blame the scorpion for being a scorpion – its the idiot frog that lets him get on for the ride.
They didn’t change the law or the regulations. They just stopped following it.
Well said. continue to elect corrupt, selfish, idiots who’s only reason to go into politics are purely for personal gain, the inevitable trickle down of problems which impact the local community will just get worse.
we currently have a government so dense that light bends around it.
You must be new here… And you’ve already picked the wrong side to defend I see !
These dumbasses probably went as a group of four to make it easier for their little brains to divide the stolen money.
I mean, to commit aggravated robbery for a quarter stake in the takings is literally stupid.
Stupid or addicted desperate. Or both.
Getting out of control now.
NO law and order and no Order in Law! what a friggin mess we in now in Cayman!
Our world class cctv cameras, and world class license plate readers, and world class investigators, will have this all wrapped up momentarily.
If the license plates are stolen, or the numbers are covered or altered, and the culprits are masked…then what?
You could have it all on camera but in reality have little to nothing to go on.
we need a way to start marking and scanning these bills. Then if enough get spent and caught in the system being used by the same person you’ve got a suspect.
Right now, police response is not fast enough to get these guys and store clerks are unarmed so it’s basically free money for anyone ballsy enough to risk jailtime for some paper.
“we need a way to start marking and scanning these bills.”
You mean like blockchain technology? As in, crypto? Yea I already commented about it, but case in point.
This is getting beyond even a hint of a joke now. What is happening to our island?
Jamaica. With some help from Honduras. But mainly Jamaica. Thanks Mac!
JAMAICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SMH such exemplary individuals. If caught, brand them on their forehead with a giant Thief marking and please, no bail.
