Cayman: Statement on youth behaviour at Camana Bay
The Dart property management team is aware of videos being circulated on social media of young people engaging in anti-social behaviour at Camana Bay on Saturday evening (11 January).
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) responded quicky to the situation and worked with our dedicated Camana Bay security officers to bring the matter under control quickly without any injuries being reported.
“We would like to reassure the community that the safety of our Camana Bay tenants and visitors to the Town Centre is a top priority. In addition to our on-duty security officers, we arranged with the RCIPS to have a number of their officers on property during the evenings due to the community events that were scheduled. We are pleased that this proactive approach brought the situation under control quickly without it escalating further,” said Dart Vice President Property Management, Marvin Cox.
Camana Bay provides a unique atmosphere where the not only our commercial and residential tenants, but the wider community gathers to enjoy our variety of events, food and beverage offerings, diverse shopping options.
Guests of all ages are welcome in the Town Centre. However, guest guidelines which can be found on the Camana Bay website, that explicitly state that visitors under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult after shops and the cinema close in the evening.
“We are once again appealing to parents to ensure that their children are not dropped off to roam unsupervised in the Town Centre,” Cox added. “We have seen far too many instances where groupings of young people have disrupted the otherwise peaceful environment.”
Although the matter is under investigation by the RCIPS, Cox said his team looks forward to further discussions with police about other measures that can be implemented to maintain a friendly and welcoming environment within Camana Bay, while deterring disruptive and anti-social behaviour.
Anyone witnessing disruptive behaviour at Camana Bay should contact any security or police officer on location or call our security team at 640-HELP (4357). If criminal behaviour is spotted, you’re encouraged to call 911.
