An RCIPS spokesperson said that the incident took place around 1:10pm on Thursday afternoon (4 October) in the car park of the BritCay offices on Eastern Avenue. The courier from Sprint was in his vehicle when the robber who was carrying a firearm threatened the witness and made off with stolen property, police said. No details have been given about how much cash the culprit managed to get away with. He is said to be around as 5’8” to 5’ 9” in height with dark skin and made off in a Mitsubishi Galant turning right onto Eastern Avenue.

No one was injured and no shots were fired, the police stated as they appeal for witnesses to the latest armed heist which comes in the wake of news that robberies and serious crime have fallen in the Cayman Islands.

Anyone with information on the daylight stick-up is asked to contact the Drugs and Serious Crimes Task Force on 949-4222, the RCIPS tip-line. 949-7777 or Crime Stoppers on 800-8744(TIPS)

    And on my birthday too, what's wrong with these lunatics? Cowards if you ask me.  These parasites need catching, don't imprison them it adds insult as we have to pay for their luxury jail time deport them, if they like branding firearms around send them to help out in Syria.

      It was probably just random, and they were hoping to get some nice juicy documents.
