Police recover stolen brewery medals

| 17/09/2012

IMG-20120917-00553.jpg(CNS): Staff at the Cayman Islands Brewery were smiling again on Monday after the police returned stolen medals to the local beer-makers this weekend. Caybrew’s marketing manager, Matthew Leslie, said that he and the team were delighted that the RCIPS had been able to recovery the medals, which they consider priceless, and he thanked the officers involved. The medals, which the brewery won at a recent Caribbean beer festival, were taken when the brewery was burgled last month. While cash and other memorabilia were stolen, Leslie said it was foolish for the thief to steal the medals, which he said had no real monetary value but were of enormous value to the brewery.

“We are really happy to get them back,” Leslie told CNS on Monday. “We are really pleased with the attention given by the police to recovering the medals and we are really grateful to officers Bowen and Wade, who worked really hard for us on this and as promised got them back for us.”

Leslie said that the police had kept the brewery updated throughout the investigation on a regular basis and that after extensive enquiries they had tracked the medals down. Although no one has yet been charged in the case, the police are following specific lines of enquiry.

The medals are now back on display at the brewery, which has upped its security measures after the break-in.

    Well done for recovering marketing gimmicks. Can we try and focus on the gun crime?

    Congrats Matthew and Caybrew for winning those medals in the first place and kudos to the RCIPS for a job well done in recovering the medals. Hope the idiot that stole them is locked up for a long time!

    Well done the RCIPS.  I like my Caybrew so would hate to have thought brewing standards might drop through sadness and depression 🙂
