(CMR) Police arrested four men believed to be involved in the recent spate of robberies and firearms offenses across Grand Cayman during operations over the weekend, Friday, 7 July – Sunday, 9 July.
Those arrested include a 22-year-old man, a 26-year-old man, and a 20-year-old man, all from George Town and a 21-year-old man from Bodden Town.
The men have been arrested for a range of offenses, including robbery, attempted robbery, breach of court bail, and drug offenses. One man has been bailed whilst the three other men are either charged with drugs and court offenses and are attending court in custody today, or they remain in custody at the Cayman Islands Detention Centre under investigation.
In addition, police have recovered the blue Jeep Liberty that is believed to have been used in at least two robberies reported last week on Thursday, 6 July, and a black Suzuki, used in the gas station robbery in Savannah on Friday, 30 June.
“The RCIPS is focused on locating and dismantling the network of individuals involved in the recent spate of robberies. By employing targeted operations and increased patrols, we have managed to successfully apprehend four men over this weekend and four men last weekend. We believe that our efforts are having an effect on these recent crimes,” said Detective Superintendent Peter Lansdown, head of RCIPS Criminal Investigations Unit.
