About 5:45AM on Saturday, 18 July, a woman was walking on Batabano Road near the Church of Christ, in West Bay, when a man ran up behind her and indecently assaulted her by grabbing her backside with his hand. The woman reported that she had seen the man briefly when he rode past her on his bike headed the other direction, after which he jumped off his bike and ran up behind her. He left when he saw an oncoming vehicle. She describes him as being around 5’5”, of small build, short black hair and of black/dark complexion. He was wearing a sleeveless dark shirt and dark pants.

The incident is under investigation by West Bay CID.

Three assaults in the same area came to the attention of police in May. CCTV clips were released at that time, and shown in the media. They are attached to this release. We urge women with similar experiences who may have not reported them to police to come forward, as well as anyone with any information regarding these assaults. Please contact Detective Dave Morrison at the West Bay Police Station on 949-3999 or Cayman Crime Stoppers on 800-8477(TIPS).

We have increased patrols in the area of Batabano Road, but we urge women to take safety precautions as much as possible, and not to walk or exercise alone in the area.
