Public Advisory on Keeping Large Sums of Cash

In light of recent robbery incidents affecting businesses and members of the public, the RCIPS is reminding the pubic to be wary of keeping large amounts of money on your person or in easily accessible locations. In addition, if you do have reason to keep large amounts of money, be wary of sharing this information with other persons.

 “We have seen at least one recent robbery incident where it appears the culprits have targeted an individual involved in a partner, or money sharing group, and who would therefore be in possession of a large sum of money,” says Acting Detective Superintendent Wade Chase. “We understand the importance of these types of groups to the local community, but would like to stress the importance of staying safe and implementing crime prevention measures.”

 Such measures include home security such as proper lighting, CCTV and alarm systems, as well as storing valuables in a safe and secure location, and avoiding travelling with large sums. The RCIPS remains committed to working with and for our communities to reduce crime and make Cayman safer.
