According to a police spokesperson, shortly after 12.30 p.m. on Thursday, 4 February 2010, two men entered the Cayman National Bank, Countryside Shopping Centre, Savannah. One of the men was carrying a firearm and fired a shot into the air. The men then ran off with a sum of cash. No one was injured as a result of the incident.
