š² Dominoes game continues despite armed robbery attempt
š Suspect arrested and investigation underway after failed robbery at a dominoes game
A group of men in North Side, engrossed in a game of dominoes, remained unfazed when an armed man attempted to rob them. The incident, which was caught on camera and subsequently shared on social media, showed the men beating the would-be robber, who has a disability. The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) confirmed that shots were fired during the incident, but no one was hit. š„
Following the incident, police and medical services were called to the scene. The suspect was arrested and the firearm was seized. The RCIPS has now launched an official investigation. The suspect, a young man from North Side with a troubled past, is known to the police. He has a prosthetic limb, the result of a motorcycle accident in his teenage years. Both the suspect and one of the dominoes players, who sustained minor injuries during the altercation, were taken to the hospital for treatment. š
The videos circulating on social media show the robber, clad in a fluorescent work-site shirt, hat, and face covering, brandishing a black handgun and a plastic bag while demanding cash from the dominoes players. The players, however, remained calm, continuing their game and even taunting the robber before eventually confronting him. šØ
