Robbery at popular beach
(CNS): A man and a woman were robbed at gunpoint Friday evening at one of Grand Cayman’s favourite beach locations. At around 9:30pm the victims, a local couple, were at Smith Cove along South Church Street when they were confronted by two masked robbers. Police said that the suspects produced a handgun and threatened the couple before taking the man’s cash and the woman’s cell phone. The assailants were described as a stout male with a Caymanian accent and another slim man with a Jamaican accent. Both of the robbers had clothing covering their faces; one suspect was dressed in full black, the other was dressed in full grey. They fled on foot in the direction of The Grand Old House.
No shots were fired and there were no injuries.
Police are urging anyone that may have been in the area at the time and may have seen something or anyone who has any information to call Georgetown Police Station on 949-4222 or Crime Stoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS)

CICC recives $1000 from Rotary for services
(CNS) Like many charities the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre is dependent on community donations no matter the size and a recent cheque from Roatary Sunrise will help the centre provide much needed risk assessments, individual and group counseling, aswell as parenting support and workshops for their clients who are struggling to escape from violence. Without the Crisis Centre they may not have another place to go and to provide the services that help clients make a healthy transition to a life free from violence they need funds for the programmes as well as the shelter itself which provides temporary safe haven for women and children who seek to create new violence-free lives.
Rotary donated CI$1,000 and Finley Josephs, said, “These funds will help with immediate needs for the Centre but Rotary Sunrise has plans to support with an additional project that will be revealed soon”.
