Robber armed with machete makes off with cash
(CNS): Police have opened an armed robbery investigation after a machete-wielding robber held up the McRuss convenience store in George Town in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Just after 1:15am on 3 December, police officers were dispatched to Eastern Avenue, where witnesses reported a man wearing dark-coloured clothing entered the store carrying the machete and stole an undisclosed quantity of cash.
The suspect then fled on foot, headed towards School Road off Eastern Avenue, according to the RCIPS release. Police did not indicate whether or not anyone was hurt during the stickup, and no arrests appear to have been made.
Detectives are encouraging anyone with information about the robbery to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.

I wonder if the robber staggered (minus a walking stick, reserved only for court appearances) around the side and pissed up the wall, our is that just elected officials that get to do that?
sadly these occurences are going to increase as people become more desperate especially around the holidays.
There is no excuse for this. We have the NAU and food banks. Stop making excuses for bad people.
Grant tens of thousands of work permits to people that cannot afford to live here on what they earn. Grant Caymanian status to thousands of people who couldn’t afford to live here before they were granted status, and the family members they shipped over after they got status weren’t educated enough to earn a decent wage. This is the result.
Any real need to have a convenience store open at 1:15AM? Think about it.
Presumably for the convenience.
Robbery with machete = Jamaican. Facts
Thank the lord for RCIPS and tens of thousands of exploited workers. Special mention for WORC and CBC
“Progress!”
