🚔 Crime surge over Christmas weekend

Despite the festive season, crime rates remained high over the Christmas weekend, with police investigating numerous incidents of violence and robbery. The crime wave began early on Friday, December 23, with a shooting in George Town that left one man hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. Police found several spent shell casings at the scene and are currently appealing for witnesses. The victim's injuries, while serious, are not believed to be life-threatening. 🚑

Later that same day, police were called to a fight at an event at Safehaven Dock. A man was reportedly hit with a bottle and sustained head injuries. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, but the individuals involved had left the scene by the time police arrived. The crime spree continued into Christmas Eve with a carjacking incident on Courts Road in George Town. A couple was attacked by two men and a woman, who stole their car along with cash and personal items. The victims were treated at the hospital for their injuries. Despite tracking the stolen vehicle and recovering some of the stolen property, the suspects remain at large. 🕵️‍♂️

Police have released descriptions of the carjacking suspects and are urging anyone with information about any of these crimes to contact George Town CID or submit anonymous tips via the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line or the Cayman Crime Stoppers website. 📞
