Police increase efforts to combat robberies

(CMR) The RCIPS said officers are working day and night to solve the recent robberies that have been plaguing the Cayman Islands. The police revealed they are engaged in both overt and covert operations to catch these criminals, who they believe are part of three groups.

With 32 armed robberies since August, the police said they have over 2000 hours of CCTV footage being analyzed. Based on CCTV footage already analyzed, the police seized six cars, which are being processed for forensic evidence. The police believe these criminals have access to multiple vehicles.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, the police said they have a number of individuals on their radar; however, they need more evidence before arrests can be made.

“We are being persistent. We are not going to let the matter down. We are going to keep looking at them overtly and covertly… Everything we can do, we are doing to try and catch these people,” Detective Superintendent Peter Lansdown said.

The RCIPS said these robberies have been targeting businesses that are isolated, both geographically and based on their hours of operations and more recently targeting individuals using bank Automated Cash Machines. The culprits are believed to be locals who are committing these robberies to fund their criminal lifestyles.

In order to prevent these robberies and to assist in the investigations of the offenses already committed, a  team of dedicated officers has been re-deployed for the sole purpose of proactive patrols and robbery investigations. In addition to the robbery prevention team, the police have also increased the presence and operations of tactical officers, including the Firearm Response Unit, the Operational Support Unit, the  K-9 Unit and the Air Operations Unit.  

The police are also reminding the public that there is a reward for helping the police to catch these criminals.

“My appeal is to the general public, but there are family members out there that know what's happening here, know that their relatives are committing these robberies. I make an appeal to you, do the right thing. Tell us, get in touch with our tipline. Go online and give us the information that we need,” Superintendent Brad Ebanks said.

What else can you do to help?

In our ongoing efforts to prevent and solve these robberies, the police are seeking the assistance of the public,  especially the business community to consider carrying out a few security and safety measures such as: 

– Employ additional security officers during busy times and at times that are outside of normal operating hours.  

-If not already being used, add a security system, including CCTV and door entry buzzer systems that are correctly installed, used and serviced.  

-Increase lighting around business premises and where possible, less foliage to discourage would-be robbers from hiding in the vegetation.  

-Submit tips with any suspicious activity to our website, including pictures, videos, and voice messages.  

-Call 911 to report any suspicious vehicles or persons, particularly if seen loitering around banking or business institutions. 

Meantime, the police said they will have a strong presence on the streets over the holidays so people can feel confident to go about their usual business.

The RCIPS would like to thank the public for their continued support and assistance so far and look forward to continuing our partnership with the community.
