Jamaican cops arrest Cayman fugitive
(CNS): Police in Jamaica have captured a man wanted in the Cayman Islands for several crimes. The Jamaican media is reporting that 31-year-old Dainian Henry, also known as ‘Yellow’, was arrested in St Ann on Sunday. The man is wanted by the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service for possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of cocaine with intent to supply, escaping custody, attempted robbery, resisting arrest, threatening violence and giving a false name and date of birth to the police. According to media reports, Henry was captured by members of the St Ann operational support team shortly after mid-day during an operation in the Lillyfield District, in Bamboo, St Ann.
The Constabulary Communication Network said Henry has been on the run since October last year. There was no indication from the RCIPS if they have asked for the fugitive to be extradited.
The RCIPS is reportedly still waiting for Ryan Edwards to be returned to Cayman after he was arrested in Jamaica in August in connection with the Cayman National Bank robbery in Buckingham Square, which took place last June. Edwards, a 36-year-old Jamaican national, was discovered in possession of cash stolen in the Cayman bank heist when he was arrested in the neighbouring island. Police reportedly found US$5,000 and CI$35,000 in the car he was driving, which the investigating officers connected to the daylight bank robbery. Edwards is believed to have fled by boat to Jamaica after the heist, in which the robbers stole around $500,000.
Shortly after the hold up, one man from West Bay, who has now pleaded guilty to his involvement in the robbery, was arrested and as a result police arrested further suspects, who are all due to stand trial next April.

No extradition on either criminal and 2/3rds of the RJIPS is from WHERE?
One "ESCAPES Custody at Central and the other is "supposedly IN custody" back-a-yard and not a single word from RJIPS here in Cayman on extradition. Something a little conspicuous here?
On the other hand, they make sure they NAIL as many Caymanian as possible.
Leave himthere. We don't have the budget in legal aid to run him through the system to set him free.
I'm sure there are other legal issues in JA he needs to deal with first, before here
Can Jam just keep him? Our lot will just cock up any trial.
And explain to me again why we do not have visa requirements for Jamaican nationals coming here? Most other jurisdictions do, as do the UK, USA, etc.
We do have visa requirements for Jamaican nationals and many other countries. Perhaps, you mean stricter screening process for visas!
It would seem that every hog dog and puppy receives a Visa in the Cayman Islands – with no such screening stipulations – they just come here and carry on their culture do as they please and leave the country in a state of no trust. Stricter evaluation should be placed on those with Visas, as I see how overcrowed our country is becoming, you can walk the streets, and there are a hundred different faces on this soil. I have to wonder where are our immigration Officers that use to do such a good job in times gone by – that seems to have become a thing of the pass. Stop sticking our heads in the Sand like the Ostrich, and trusting all to do good – we are begining to loose trust in the Immigration Department and those in power who hand down these laxed laws like drinking a glass of water. Have we ever taken a reality check???? and wonder what is happening to Cayman, with so many con-artists, that roam the streets, yet no one monitors or sees the results and ill-will of these people/persons.
Now that the 5 Amigos of the UDP reminance are there, action is required to curb, all this stealing, murdering, drugs in the Cayman Islands, We give claim to some of our natives that have falling into hands of outside forces, and have become vulnerable at the hands of some of our importees.
Still looking for others to blame eh? Tut tut!
Mac didn't want to upset his Jamaican supporters who will help him get independence one day.
Mac would've lost out on the Doctorate, if he didn't make the speech on INTEGRITY. The rant was poor and the Doctorate was not received.
No more Visa for Jacans?? Whoo hoo!! smh ….every soul should need a visa to enter – like Australia!! Pretty white boys in neck tie and jacket have criminal records also!
12:56 I would not go as far to suggest no more visas for Jamaicans, but I do believe that the immigration authorities should only give visas to persons who either coming in with money to keep them for a month or the person who invites them is well known to the Immigration authorities. Because, yes many of them come here for the wrong reasons. The persons who bring them here on a visa usually do not even see them after they land. That's not good enough.
One thing I have insisted on is that the immigration department should have a system set up whereby when people need police record from Jamaica, the Immigration authorities send off a batch weekly requesting this from the spanish Town office, and the applicant is obviously charged the fees for the record and for the application. Why the Immigration is not doing this, they must have a reason. Want the criminals in here or just the usual lazy.
Again we become alarmed when these persons commit crimes here and escape to their homeland, and the news boldly say CAYMANIANS and they know they are not Caymanians, but just wanting to smear the name Cayman. Many things need cleared up in the Island, so I do hope the persons in authority do what they have to do.
CNS should look into the claim of the informant (of the CNB cash held by Edwards) at the tire shop being shot dead. It was reported on Jamaican news but not in Cayman. Just shows how cut throat these people are.
Just like the witness to the prior East End tourist robbery was, I understand, shot dead. We are supposed to have faith in our justice system how?
No.
