Press Releases

Today, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) officially released its 2025 Crime and Traffic Statistics Report. Members of the Senior Command Team held a press conference to discuss the key developments, emerging trends, and the impact of strategic initiatives on public safety over the past year.

The police are observing a concerning number of incidents of speeding and other traffic offences along major roadways in the Sister Islands, particularly in Cayman Brac.

Motorists are advised that the Esterley Tibbetts Highway is currently closed between the Jay Bodden Highway and the AL Thompson Roundabout, in the vicinity of the George Town Landfill.

The RCIPS Traffic and Roads Policing Unit is launching its first phase of Operation Clyro for 2026, an initiative to reduce dangerous driving behaviours, particularly those which lead to the loss of life.

Following further investigations, the Police can confirm that the text messages circulating regarding “dormant accounts” are legitimate communications sent by the financial institution to its members.

Subsequent to police investigations, one man has been arrested for deception offences related to immigration fraud, and another person has been identified and warned.

On Saturday, 28 February, police conducted a search operation at a residence in West Bay. During the search, wanted man Derrick Osney Bush was arrested and remains in custody pending further investigations.

It is with the deepest regret and heartfelt condolences to his family that the RCIPS announces the passing of Detective Inspector Collins Oremule.

Armani McLean, who was reported missing on Tuesday, 17 February, has been located safely. The RCIPS thanks the public for their assistance.

The RCIPS Cyber Crime Investigation Team is aware of a PDF document currently being sent to local entities from a compromised email address.
