The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service has begun an investigation after 5 vehicles were broken into sometime between Sunday and Monday (November 9-10).
The cars had been parked in the car park of the Red Cross building opposite the Cricket Oval by volunteers before they left for Cayman Brac on Sunday afternoon. Police received a call from a Red Cross staff member at around 12pm today
(Monday) reporting that a number of vehicles had been damaged. Police responded and found that windows of five vehicles had been smashed. Scenes of Crime officers attended and processed the scene. Due to the owners being off-island, it is not known at this time what, if anything, was taken from the cars.
It is particularly sad that this has happened to people who have gone out of their way to volunteer and assist others, said Sergeant Durk Banks of George Town police station, adding that everyone should make sure their vehicles, homes and possessions are secure at all times. It is unfortunate that there are people who will take advantage of situations like this and we have to do all we can to make things as hard as possible for them, he said.
The RCIPS advises residents never to leave valuables in their cars, ensure they are locked at all times and park in the most secure place possible.
Anyone with information about crime taking place in the Cayman Islands should contact their local police station or Crime Stoppers on 800-8477 (TIPS). All persons calling crime stoppers remain anonymous, and are eligible for a reward of up to $1000, should their information lead to an arrest or recovery of property/drugs.
