George Town detectives are investigating an attempted robbery and a robbery which occurred within less than an hour, Sunday 18 March 2012.

The attempted robbery occurred at approximately 9.20pm. At this time a female taxi driver had arrived in Breezy Way, George Town, to pick up a fare.

Around 50 minutes later, at approximately 10.00pm, two masked men entered the office of Cayman Karting in Sparky Drive,  George Town, where staff were closing up for the night. One of the suspects was in possession of a handgun. The suspects demanded money before running off from the scene with a sum of cash.
