I think that this whole robbing pizza and sodas are a huge JOKE!
How can they be certain of their ages? That to me is only speculation… unless they know more than they are saying.
We have visited Cayman for many years, but are seriously considering staying away due to the constant crime we read about. This is the same behavior that goes on by the criminals in our big cities here in the US. Why should we spend ($5K US, ave.) in your country only to be afraid of robbery by the uncivilized machete wielding sub-culture you fail to control?
It sounds to me like these girls were bored or maybe it was their gang initiation. I am sure that there will be lots of crying when they are arrested. To late chicas!!! Your nice hard cot and coture uniforms are waiting. Oh my what will you do with no more pedicures, lip liner and hair extensions???Whatever the case the parents will suffer enough when the young ladies are committed to prison for no less than 25 years in answer to charges of agravated burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. No bail, no social inquiries, no pity what so ever. Straight to jail.
I am sure that they did not think about any of the consequences since there is no room in the prison for them anyway. That and the fact that they see the politicians stealing from the people ever day
Everyone seems to want to automatically blame the police when the police can only carry out their jobs with what minimal resouces they have. There is no deterrent in this country toward crime so why should these criminals be afraid to continue to "make a quick buck".
I say that the murderers should be hanged immediately and the other prison inmates should be made to build new prison cells. There must be a few contractors and electricians being held at the leisure of the Queen. No pay for them either!! Before that though the heads of the prison should be fired immediately for not using the simple tool of K-9 units to keep the ganja out of the prisons. Right now prisoners smoke ganja and drink their home made wine while sitting in their cells with the new oscillating fans to cool things down and watch DVD;s. This and 3 meals a day with no mortgage makes me think about it as an option to struggling day to day to get bye.
I know that the church will not like the idea of the death penalty, but it is about time that someone tell the ministers association that they were not elected to run this country and they should just stick to running their businesses and back out of the picture. If they really want to help they should donate some of the vast monies that they collect and help these programs to be implemneted.
Our leaders are sure setting a fine example for our young people and their parents as well by breaking the highest laws of the land and not only getting away with it, but also being awarded for their wrong doings by the courts.
So please stop and remember that and demand that our leaders set the kind of examples for us all to follow.
White Rav-4 should take about 2 sec to find in auto regitsration database on a small island
All I’m saying is there must be a mother/father out there somewhere knowing it was their daughter and her friends who went out and did this. I can’t imagine any regular 13 to 19 year old having not only the ability to drive, but also sufficient funds to go out and buy a White RAV4 – any parent who bought one of these for their daughter should be checking where she was at the time this incident took place.
Your comments show part of the problem, not with you but the fact that there are many parents who do not know what their children are doing at any given time.
I will give these parents the benefit of the doubt that they care about their children but are focused upon different things.
In this day and age with the crime and violence for a parent to not make an effort to know what their child is doing makes me question what exactly are their true priorities.
When the young man was murdered at the Next Level night club in front of 150 young people, how many parents knew their child was there at the club at that time? How many questioned their child about what happened?
No one came forward with information.
I think this is the Government’s solution to the economy. Let the scum rob everyone else, saving the Government having to implement taxes to keep these ****s in prison/school/some-drugged-up-state/working in the Public Sector.
One of these days a victim will fight back & we’ll be dismayed further when they get prosecuted & the scum get away with it.
Criminals & gangsters are pathetic losers who can’t keep jobs or support their families. Jail them please someone.
Food for thought: don’t we have truancy officers who should be able to tell us which 13-16 year olds were missing from school on that day?
It is sad that our society has lost its morals and values. There are some who now think that they don’t have to work for anything, but can be like pirates and just use force and intimidation to take what others work hard for. They are the same ones who likely grew up in an environment where they saw the saw the same thing occurring and took no interest in schooling and learning, wasted those years and now find themselves without the ability to earn a decent living and rather than try to go back to school and get an education, wants the easy way out.
I suggest that it is time to train and permit security guards to carry firearms to protect themselves and the entities they look after. This problem is not going to go away and the proper treatment need to be applied to this disease.
It’s so sad that Grand Cayman has become a violent and scary place to live. We can’t even go buy a pizza, or fill our car with gas, or go to the bank without constantly looking over our shoulder andworrying that we may get shot or hacked with a machete.
Tell me, how is it possible for somebody to get away with shooting a woman in the face, in a busy bar, in broad daylight?
I’m relieved we’re leaving here soon (after 10 years here) but sad it wasn’t possible to make this place our home.
It’s possible for criminals to get away when witnesses decline to provide testimony that is need for prosecution, as what happened in the case with the lady shot in the face- that’s the way it is in the justice system- everyone has a right to a fair trial, if there is not enough evidence the person has to go free. Best of luck in your move, hoope you are going somewhere where there is less crime…
He got away because:
More importantly, there was a police blockade some 200 yards away to the east where they were stopping cars and checking registrations! Surely, if teh alarm had been turned in, one of these police cars could have reacted as they were within seconds of the location.
They rob a pizza joint and don’t even take a pizza???
So the fool-fool gals want start their sh*t now too. What a mess dis is!!!
Again the description is pathetic. Are these dark skinned? white? asian? Jamaican?
Such basic information should be on any description, however many Caymanians are upset by it. This must be being held back presumably to stop offending the locals.
These are clearly amateurs as they hit a small pizza joint in the middle of the day. A pro would know that food businesses would be cash heavy at the end of the day, but for dominos in the early afternoon they would have taken very little, justa few lunch orders mainly offices paid on the card.
If they get away with it then it shows how truly incompetent the police are or how thoroughly corrupt the island is. There aren’t many RAV 4s on the island, that cuts down the numbers a bit, get roll call information from the schools, see who wasn’t there, compare this with the “real” descriptions which obviously includes nationality, skin, height etc and you’ve narrowed it down to a fairly small group, small enough surely to begin to divide and conquer and play them against each other to get people talking. Come on get a grip people.
"Are these dark skinned? white? asian? Jamaican?" you forgot CAYMANIAN !
Caymanian is not a skin colour!! As with any nationality there are many different looking people making up the nation, so no, that shouldn’t have been included in that contributors list. Same with Jamaican. If we’re talking of identifying the girls by their accents, that would be a different matter.
nor is Jamaican……
Wait so Asian IS now a skin color?
Honestly, I use to complain about this as well, but have since figured the RCIPS doesn’t want any help from Joe Public. Just think, there was a bank robbery in Savannha, UNSOLVED as to date, and NO releaseof the bank robbers. Makes you think they might come from a prominent family doesn’t it…
RCIP is complete joke. I do believe there are good police officers, without question, but taken a whole, they couldn’t solve a crime if it hit them square in the head. Oh wait, that did happen with the fight a few weeks back, they just stood around.
There needs to be some changes to the Law. Parents need to be made accountable…literally! They should be charged and attend Court along with their children who commit these unlawful acts.
Gone are the days of responsible parenting. I have seen some downright nasty parents…and everyone wonders where the children are getting it from?!! These type of parents actually condone their childrens’ misbehaviour, they actually promote it!
Uneducated babies are having babies, who are having babies. There is no foundation for a quickly growing segment of our society.
I feel for a lot of single mothers out there, it is very difficult for them.
Poor Country….if it broke now, how is it going to cope with a bunch of young adults who don’t want to work and overloaded prisons.
I totally agree with you. Parents should be held accountable for their children actions. Investigation should be made and if they are found to be irresponsible, then they should be charged. it is harder on a single parent, but it does not excuse them.I have been a single parent and even though it was hard, I did not use it as an excuse to let my children run free and become a nuisance to society. it is not fair that these children alone pay for their actions while the delinquent parents gets away with it. Research has shown that parents most of the times are the main contributors to their children becoming delinquents. I do not need to a report to tell me that, I see delinquent parents everyday and it grieves me to the core.
I agree with most of your statement. But I don’t feel for the single mothers. I pity them for making such stupid mistakes and resent my taxes being wasted to pay for their upkeep. Young Caymanian girls need to be taught some morals and stop sleeping around with losers and wangsters.
If these girls weren’t putting out so easy we wouldn’t have all these kids being born into broken homes.
You are so right. I certainly do not feel sorry for these single mothers, it was their choice. Many o fthem have been taught morals but they ignore what their parents teach them and follow their peers having sex with multiple partners. It is very concerning the number of young girls, Caymanian and foreign nationals living here, who are engaging in these behaviours. Something needs to be done to put the spotlight on what is happening and try to influence them in another direction.
It’s very scary living and working here in Cayman at this time. Like one blogger said, things were kinda quiet until the release of a few notorious Killers were let go from prison. What can be done to solve these petty crimes? More policing? No! More CC servallance? No! More security guards? No! Hot boiling water to disburse on intruder? No! Acid? Yes, maybe! So what should we do then?
Wakeup politicians. It’s time we get tough on crime. Pass the necessary laws that will allow business people and up-right citizens to arm themselves with a firearm. The current firearms law is very minimal and gives the commissioner too mush say in the issuance of firearms. But let’s go further, the law must protect the victim, e.g. if a robber or intruder is shot within 500 ft of the victim that will be self-defence and there is no case to answer. The laws must be straight and not as it is currently slanted towards the robbers.
Once again – let’s blame the police. That’s an easy band wagon to jump on.
The police can deal with the crime once it has happened but the police can;t be blamed for creating the circumstances that lead these young people (and children!) offending in the first place.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE PARENTING IN CAYMAN???
What particular circumstances have to be going on at home which leads to the children offending like this? Is this possibly connected with the out and out disdain that many children have for school and their own education?
A couple points here that we need to be concerned about:
1. brazen – middle day, poorly disguised etc…
2. 3 young girls – sounds like this may be some kind of dare or initiation to something bigger
3. most concerning thing is this – if this happened (3 young kids robbing joint in middle of day and escape route and even car seen) in the real world, those girls would have been caught and arrested within about 12 minutes.
"if this happened (3 young kids robbing joint in middle of day and escape route and even car seen) in the real world, those girls would have been caught and arrested within about 12 minutes" are you suggesting the government are like letting these small crimes go for a weird reason ?
It takes the attention off the antics of the Premier for a couple days.
Perhaps the reason is incompetence.
There ought to be a law that everyone with children of school age should be mandated to attend a parenting class. IT SHOULD BE ‘THE LAW"
Since I’m paying your taxes, and buying your bread and meat, Yes I’m telling you what to do! GOVERNMENT MUST PASS A LAW THAT MAKES IT MANDATORY THAT ANY PARENT WHETHER SINGLE , DIVORCED, SEPARATED, OR OUT OF WEDLOCK, THEY MUST ATTEND PARENTING CLASSES and teach them how to be parents.
Children are being draged up instead of brought up. Put a stop to this nonsense, its a social menace.
Put the kinds in technical school and the parents in parenting school and drug and alcohol rehab if necessary stop playing with the issues and face them.
Don’t just hand out fre social services children and family aide to them, they must enroll in a program to make life better for them and their children, promoting their education to get a better job to become self sufficient and come off welfare, and pay for childcare instead of drugs and alcohol!
I disagree…the churches need to step back and let the schools teach proper sex ed and inform young people that they have options available to them to prevent unwanted pregnancies…the old line about abstinance obviously isn’t working, so give people information and tools to prevent these children having children..
This is absolutely shocking stuff thats going on just now.
It used to be isolated to certain areas, now it’s all over! At what point does it have to get to before the Authorities do something about it?
You have to ask yourself. "Why are charges getting thrown out of court?" Quite simple. there is so much doctoring of the log books. That cop might be a cousin, or an uncle or a member of their family, so they make the papers get lost. When it comes to Court day, they haven’t got their xxxx together, so it’s not just the Courts that are failing us, it’s the Police Officers that aren’t trained enough to do their job. They should be held accountable too.
I have heard this so many times it’s scary!
West Bay gets a bad wrap all the time by the media and everyone who feels cools to pass a comment that OHHHH West Bay is this or that. I love West Bay.
Shouldn’t they have been in school? Check school records.
Only the described 13 year old would have been in school. Any older than 16 and you are DONE with school in this country. The only requirement for "graduation" is attendance…this is finally to be changed for next year.
This is unreal and the authorities need to get a grip on what is happening here! Too many crimes are going unsolved and the criminal minded are becoming more and more bold. This has got to stop.
I found most of the contributions thus far to this thread to be as pathetic as the behavior of these young women.
This is not a joke or a game this is armed robbery. These young women somehow developed such a sense of right and wrong as to believe that armed robbery in broad daylight was a reasonable course of action.
I am reminded of the young men who robbed the bank in broad daylight as to my knowledge as yet have not been charged.
These crimes indicate a basic breakdown in a very small society and I for on do not see this as funny.
And I don’t give a damn how you vote about these comments.
Whose asleep at the wheel? Surely we will blame the cops and society, this I beleive is not the problem. The problem lies squarely on the poor parenting of these young people.
When a child can be disruptive in school, on the bus to & from school and bully the teachers and other students, disrespect people that they meet on the streets, walk around with their pants below their *** crack, thats not cops/ society, thats your fault parents. Get involved with your child, know where they are as much as possible, do not condone the type of behaviour that is happening today. From the ranting calls to rooster and some of the blogs here on CNS, we have a serious problem here, and I’m not sure that the police can do or should do anything about it
You all need to get a grip on life and get some self help aid, you are pathetic, look at what you have done to my Island, shame on you, I am not an expat, I am B/B right here on these shores no expat parents either. I have had enough of your selfish hateful attitudes.
Something’s not right here because at 1:45 pm on a Thursday, a 13 year old girl would have been at school.
13-19 years old — shouldn’t they have been at school or something?
Study leave. They were utilising their time well it seems. Just wait till they all get out for summer. The lunatics truly will be running the asylum.
The Cayman we old timers loved does not exist anymore. It must be possible to find out who they were. But then, everyone knows who killed Carlo Webster in the nightclub and who did the CNB robbery (all Caymanians) but nothing has happened in either of these cases bcause of "lack of evidence that would stand up in court" it seems. Dreadful.
How the hell do you know they are "all Caymanians" when they have not been caught as yet? Since you seems to know so much you should make a report to the right authorities!
If you don’t know who they are, you need to get out more and talk to Caymanians.
Was there not a white Rav 4 associated with the armed robbery in Savannah a couple of months ago. It seems like somebody made the charges go away in that instance. Who did grandma give the keys to this time?
oh dear gang initiation sounds like……………..
Tell me these na the last days!!!
But to think of it something is definately gone wrong that young gilrs are robbing now.
These girls should be prosecuted as adults – yes, including the 13 year old. Send a message to our young people that we are serious. And, if this was a gang initiation, God help us all….
The big question is – did they get the dough?
Read the article thoroughly – yes they did!
I’m pretty sure that was a pun. So technically, no, they didn’t get the dough.
This is no joke, did they get the DOUGH, start getting serious here the island is going to hell in a hand basket no time for jokes.
What in the world is wrong with these youngsters? To even think that they thought they could get away with such nonsense! what has happened to the Cayman we all knew and loved?
And the shame and disgrace on this island never ends!
Girls getting gansta now….. My goodness
OF ALL the SPECIES!
WOMEN!
Women have to eat too ?? why are you surprised
Three women with machetes. Now how does all this look to the world. This behavior and crime has become second place not to be thought of in Cayman. I do not blame the police, the immigration department, Iavn or the world economy. I look to the so called leader of the country and simply ask when will the crime in Cayman become a focus for you. Don’t say its The Governor or the police or budgets or stay over’s or guns. No more excuses focus on crime.
You have reached the extension of the Honorable Premier of the Cayman Islands unfortunately I’m off Island to the World Cup, aaah I mean New York and Europe for discussion on Hedge Funds yeah which accidentally takes me through South Africa. It’s a short cut I tell ya!!!
I will contact you upon my return (How long is the World Cup again, 2 months) aah in two months. See ya!!!
The example was set when law, order and the Constitution meant nothing to certain people a year ago!
It truly saddens me to say this but we can expect no less.
When the ruling party got seated only because they bent and broke laws to get in and leaders in the judicial sector turned a blind eye to allow it to happen what can we truly expect.
Did they escape with the dough?
Yeah- they got it all and the pepperoni, too.
Not sure…but it sounds like they got a few sodas!……STUPID PATHETIC MORONS! I hope they are caught and the book is thrown at them!!!
Was a hot day yesterday. They were out chopping bush. Needed a drink, payday not till Friday…
LOL! Durrrr. That’s about the only thing I’ve ever seen you comment onthat made any sense whatsoever. At least you have that sense of humor.
Must have been very hungry
Funny thing is….I drove past there 15 minutes before it said this happened and police were doing traffic stops just up the road checking for expired licenses!! Guess they were to busy to notice anything else happening!!
time for us to leave here? something is wrong with this picture.What is happening in this small island.
Simple. The more educated expats that are kicked out due to the rollover and more Caribbean this island becomes.
…and that makes sense because the term ‘expats’ refers only to non-Caymanian transient workers from any other region besides the Caribbean, right?
Or how about the longer we do not adequately enforce rollover the more poor, uneducated and non productive members of our community become a permanent part, and the more "Caribbean" (as you put it), we become.
And actually, most educated expats are exempt from rollover (if they apply) – but sorry, Dade community college does not generally cut it.
I’m sorry, how do the educated expats give back to the social needs of the island??? They become more distant and superlative to we, the "island people" LOL….
You need to go back to where you came from if that’s you’re attitude on MY island.
Furthermore, crime is not "Caribbean". Crime has been a global issue from time was time. How can you sterotype that??
Please reserve your ignorant, thoughtless comments for your mindless disccussions with your "educated expat compatriates"!!.
