Cayman police helicopter crew helps fight crime wave in Turks and Caicos
A Cayman police helicopter has been deployed to a sister British Overseas Territory amid a crime wave and 24 murders so far this year.
The Cayman aircraft, one of two, and its crew were sent to Turks and Caicos Islands to help the police there with surveillance and rapid response capabilities in a major national security operation designed to crack down on violent crime.
Cayman’s Commissioner of Police Kurt Walton said on Facebook it was important to support British Overseas Territory colleagues “whenever possible”.
