Burger King local franchise operator Mark Anthony has said he is evaluating additional precautions for the fast-food chain after an armed robbery Saturday night at its Red Bay outlet.
Anthony, in a emailed comment on the incident to the Cayman Compass Monday, said the restaurant is “increasing our vigilance” following the robbery, adding that there are protocols and procedures in place.
He said that, thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident.
“We are always concerned for our team members and guests. Personal safety is the priority for us. We closed the restaurant after the incident, sent the team home and reopened Sunday,” he said.
Police, in a statement Monday afternoon, said shortly after 8:45pm on Saturday officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at a restaurant on Shamrock Road in the vicinity of Bimini Drive.

No shots were fired during the incident and no one was injured.
Police said the suspect was described as being of dark complexion and medium build.
He was dressed in all black with a long-sleeved hooded top and a mask.
The matter remains under investigation and anyone who may have witnessed the incident or seen anything suspicious in the area is asked to contact George Town CID at 949-4222.
