The message of hurricane preparedness from the recent National Week of Readiness (September 17th to 24th) still echoes with powerful relevance as Cayman heads into the home stretch of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

“It’s not too late to get ready and stay ready. So far, we have been spared from major storms this season, and for that we give thanks. But we know how quickly the weather can change, and we must be ready for the test,” Hon. Premier Andre Ebanks had then implored.

His advice continues to resonate and takes on added timeliness with current forecasts pointing to an emerging tropical wave between the west coast of Africa and Cabo Verde Islands, which shows early signs of developing.

Weather forecasters tracking the system suggest that gradual development of the wave is possible over the next few days, with the possibility of it becoming a tropical depression by the middle to latter part of the week.

A Caymanian teenager is realising his dream to pursue a basketball career by attending a specialist course in the sport at a college in the UK.

Gabriel Oplustil is one of a few Caymanians attending high school in England tailored specifically for basketball and the only one ever accepted by Moulton College’s basketball academy. The college is near Northampton, about two hours north of London.

Students are trained in a professional environment, preparing to be top hoopsters. Oplustil, 17, has been part of the Cayman Islands Basketball Association since he was 14. A shooting guard, the 5ft 11ins youngster was Jr. NBA champion twice in Cayman and MVP.

Just before 4:45 AM on Sunday, 5 October, police responded to the Country Side Shopping Village, located on Hirst Road in Bodden Town, where it was reported that an attempted burglary incident had taken place.

Information suggests that someone driving and operating a heavy equipment vehicle attempted to gain entry to the Credit Union's Automated Teller Machine (ATM) by damaging the glass and concrete structure.

The heavy equipment vehicle, used at the time, was later confirmed to have been taken without the owner's consent. The perpetrator exited the vehicle and entered a white coloured pickup truck and left the location. He has not been identified, and no arrests have been made.

Police have responded to multiple reports of stolen electric bikes (e-bikes) and scooters over the past few weeks, including several stolen e-bikes which were recovered at a residential property in George Town.

Police are advising the public of steps they can take to avoid being a victim of such thefts, or to assist with making it easier for any such stolen items to be recovered.

Invest in bicycle locks and other security systems. E-bikes and Scooters are light and can be easily relocated. Attaching them to solid, stationary structures, using a security lock (U lock or chain lock), is often enough to prevent thieves from making off with them.

The RCIPS is warning the public against a concerning series of fraudulent rental property schemes currently targeting prospective tenants.

We have received numerous reports of scammers posing as landlords or property managers offering apartments or houses for rent at attractive prices. Victims are often asked to transfer a security deposit or advance rent before viewing the property, only to discover later that the property is not available, does not exist, or is already legitimately rented out.

The Ministry of Tourism and Trade Development is closely monitoring the potential effects of the U.S. federal government shutdown on air travel. Air traffic control, Customs and Border Protection, and Transportation Security Administration functions are designated as essential services under U.S. law and are required to continue operating during a shutdown. In previous shutdowns, the most common effects have been occasional reductions in staffing and slower processing times, but widespread disruption to air services has generally not occurred, particularly when the shutdowns have been short in duration.
