Royal Cayman Islands Police officers said two men were tied up and a safe emptied during a robbery early Monday at the Ramada Grand Caymanian Beach Resort.

According to initial reports, two armed suspects robbed a safe at the SaveHaven area hotel around 2am Monday. 

No shots were fired and hotel staff confirmed no one had been injured.

Police provided no information immediately about the crime scene, though they later confirmed a robbery had occurred in the following statement: 

"About 1.30 a.m. (Monday) morning two members of staff were within an office at the Ramada Grand Caymanian when they were suddenly confronted by two masked men armed with what appeared to be handguns.

"The suspects tied the men up and left them locked within the office. The suspects then entered another room which contained a safe.

"Around two hours later one of the men managed to free himself and raise the alarm. It was then discovered that the suspects had forced open the safe and fled the scene with a sum of cash."

The hotel's general manager also declined to comment when contacted by the Compass.

The first suspect was described as dark complected, 5’6” and heavyset. He was wearing a black t-shirt, dark blue faded jeans and black and white sneakers. He had a black ski mask covering his face, according to witnesses. The second suspect had a slim build and about 6’ in height. He was wearing a long sleeved hoodie with camouflage pants and white sneakers. 

“This was a terrifying ordeal for the two men involved – luckily they weren’t injured,' said RCIPS Sergeant Richard Scott. "Initial indications are that this was a preplanned robbery. It could be that the two suspects had been watching the movements of staff for a few days prior to the actual incident."

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call police at 949-4222 or Crime Stoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS).
