A 65-year-old taxi driver of Goed Intent, West Bank Demerara, was robbed of his Toyota Fielder Wagon bearing registration number HC 6999 Friday night at Flamboyant Avenue, Eccles, East Bank Demerara.

Reports indicate that the taxi driver was plying his trade at the Stabroek Market car park when he received a call via his cellphone from an unknown number.
On the other end of the line was a female requesting to be picked up at Regent Street and Orange Walk, Bourda, Georgetown.

Upon arrival at the location, the taxi driver collected two persons: a man, who sat in the front seat and a woman who sat in the back seat of the vehicle. They both requested a drop-off at Flamboyant Street, Eccles.

On arrival at the destination, the man exited the vehicle, walked over to the driver’s side, took out a handgun from the waist of his pants and ordered the driver to exit the car.
Fearing for his life, the pensioner complied. The robber then jumped into the car and made good his escape.
