In the course of the investigation into the vandalism to vehicles and property at Webster’s Estates in South Sound last Thursday night, 25 April, it has been determined that this criminal activity is linked to a burglary at John Gray High School on Wednesday evening in which several computers were smashed, other additional property was damaged, and a fire extinguisher was stolen.

The two male youths arrested in connection with both incidents are now on Police bail; one of the youths was brought to the George Town Police Station on Saturday by his parent immediately after she became aware of his involvement in the incident.  The second youth was arrested on Sunday. In total the investigation indicates at least a dozen offences were committed across both incidents.

On Sunday CPD officers visited Webster’s Estates to assist with the clean-up and repair to damaged property by painting walls and cleaning signs. In total, at least three cars were vandalized during the incident and a front door was smashed, in addition to a number of signs and walls which were defaced.

“This was a spree of vandalism which is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage,” said Acting Sergeant Jonathan Kern of the George Town Community Policing Sector. “Vandalism on this scale is unusual in Cayman, and while it has been unsettling for the community of Webster’s Estates they have come together in a spirit of problem-solving which we have been happy to support.”
