Taxi dri­ver "shocked", car stolen

A 55-year-old taxi dri­ver was shocked with a de­vice and then robbed af­ter he stopped to pick up two Span­ish-speak­ing men in Mara­bel­la.

The taxi dri­ver told po­lice that around 5.30 am on Mon­day he was head­ing north along Bat­too Av­enue in his white Y11 Nis­san AD Wag­on when he stopped for the sus­pects who pre­tend­ed to be pas­sen­gers.

One of the sus­pects sat in the front pas­sen­ger seat. The oth­er ap­proached the dri­ver's win­dow, struck the dri­ver on his face, and then stunned him with an elec­tric weapon on his stom­ach.

He then dragged the dri­ver out of his ve­hi­cle, and drove off with it.

The ve­hi­cle was val­ued at $40,000. Of­fi­cers from the Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
