Bodden Town man comes home to armed burglars
(CNS): Police are on the hunt for two men who broke into a home near the North Sound Estates in Bodden Town during the early hours of Friday, 3 January. The resident arrived home sometime before 12:30 that morning and found the door open and two masked men inside the house, brandishing knives.
The victim ran from his home and got into his vehicle with the masked burglars in pursuit. As they then attempted to flee, one of the masked men was hit by the victim’s vehicle.
Both suspects then ran off, heading south down Leeward Drive. They were described as being around 5 feet 9 inches tall, slim, and dark-skinned, wearing black clothing and face masks.
Detectives investigating the aggravated burglary are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the suspects or have any information to call the Bodden Town CID at 947-2220. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Cayman Crime Stoppers website.

At one time, North Sound Estates would have been said to have been in Savannah or Newlands, but certainly not “Bodden Town”!
Im convinced at this point the police on island dont actually want to work or to solve crimes. The reports they put out are soooo vague and discouraging that its hard to not consider it comical.
When has north sound estates EVER been in Bodden Town?

It’s literally in the district of Bodden Town. The responding officers would have been based at Bodden Town police station, with support from Firearms. From Spotts Beach to Frank Sound is technically Bodden Town, too.
I don’t think I can write what police and ambulance services would find if I came home to that scenario.
calm down buddy, this is real life, not a Jackie Chan movie. you see two men with knives coming at you the best course of action is to do what the homeowner did, get away fast!
Don’t calm down buddy. That’s how we got into this state. You come home and find someone in your house, you hurt them if you can. If you cannot, then, of course, the wisest course is to flee. The victim did the right thing for his situation and skills.
From the article: “As they then attempted to flee, one of the masked men was hit by the victim’s vehicle.” Oops. Sorry it didn’t take.
Tired of all this crap. We aren’t allowed the simple tools to protect ourselves. Not even capsicum spray. Will we all — ten years hence — begin walking around with a walking stick? I don’t think it will take that long for me. So far, walking sticks are legal, and the training for a bo stick is easy to find online. Check it out.
