Shortly after 1AM on Thursday 12 October, the 9-1-1 Communications Centre received a report of a robbery at Salty’s bar in Grand Harbour. Five people were seated in the area outside the bar, after it had closed, when they were approached by three hooded men, at least two of whom were in possession of a handgun. The three men proceeded to rob the group, during which one of the group, a man, received a head injury. The suspects escaped on foot heading east with a quantity of cash and personal belongings. The victim was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.

The suspects are described as tall, dark-skinned males of thin but muscular build.

The investigation suggests that no shots were fired in the incident.
