Jamaican implicated in Cayman bank robbery

The matter involving a Jamaican man who has been implicated in a bank robbery in the Cayman Islands was mentioned in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

Thirty-six-year-old Ryan Edwards, who is facing extradition, was remanded until October 4.

The prosecutor said that though a provisional request was made, a letter had been submitted to the government of the Cayman Islands for disclosure of the relevant documents.

According to police reports, Edwards and another man were in a parked Toyota Altis motor car on the Lyssons main road when they were accosted.

The motor vehicle was searched and a large sum of cash, including US$5,000 (J$45,000) and KYD$35,000 (J$3,805,200) was allegedly found.

Investigators subsequently made checks with the Royal Caymanian police who revealed that several of the notes found in Edwards' possession matched notes stolen during a robbery at the Cayman Nation Bank, back in June.

The police were also informed that Edwards was wanted in connection with the robbery.
