While police yesterday would not call it a “trend”, officials are concerned about three robberies in or near private homes since Sunday and have called for increased vigilance. In the wake of Tuesday evening’s Webster Estates home invasion, following two Sunday robberies – one in West Bay and one in George Town’s Palm Dale – in residential neighbourhoods, RCIPS Detective Superintendent Marion Bodden said the crimes were sufficiently dissimilar that they were unlikely to be linked, but that no one was immune “just because you’re not in West Bay”. “I wouldn’t choose ‘scary’ as the word to describe it, but I would say this kind of awareness is what we’re talking about. People need more awareness,” Mr Bodden told iNews Cayman yesterday. “We need to move from ‘scared’ to being ‘more aware’. You don’t need to own a store to have a robbery,” he said.
