Police are searching for a large quantity of jewellery, stolen from a commercial property on Main Street in George Town on 31 Dec.
Royal Cayman Islands Police officers attended the location just after 8:30am that day and determined that two perpetrators had entered the property earlier that morning, around 1:30am.
“Display cases were broken and the contents of the displays stolen. The perpetrators left the location on foot in an unknown direction,” police said in a press release on Wednesday.
Police made an arrest on Monday of a man, aged 40 of West Bay, in connection with the burglary, but none of the stolen items were recovered.
The man has since been released on bail.
Anyone with knowledge of the incident or the location of the stolen jewellery, described as high value, is being encouraged to contact RCIPS at the George Town Police Station at 949-4222 or through the confidential tip line at 949-7777.
Knowingly handling stolen goods is a criminal offence, RCIPS reminded the public, and prosecutable up to 14 years of imprisonment.
