Burglars smash through apartment office wall

A burglar or burglars broke through a partition wall to swipe a safe from a West Bay apartment complex over the weekend.

Shortly before 1am Sunday, the security alarm was activated at the offices of Oceanside Plantation on North West Point Road. 

When the office manager and police arrived they discovered that the burglar(s) had broken through a partition wall into the office and had made off with a safe containing some bank cheques, a coin box, and cash.

The safe is black/dark grey in colour, around a foot high, 18 inches wide and about 12 inches deep. It has a 12 digit keypad and a dial latch.

Detective Constable Devon Bailey asks for anyone in the area at the relevant time to contact him.

“The person or persons responsible were pretty determined; not only did they break through a partition wall to get into the office they also removed the safe which had been bolted to the floor,” Mr. Bailey said.

“You could be someone who was either in the area at the time, or who lives in the complex but has not yet been interviewed in relation to what you heard or saw on that particular night.” 

Anyone with information is asked to call the West Bay Police Station on 949-3999 or 800-TIPS for Cayman Crime Stoppers.
