A Pe­tit Val­ley man was robbed dur­ing the ear­ly hours of Sun­day in Wood­brook, af­ter a man dressed in women’s cloth­ing jumped in­to his car as he wait­ed at the traf­fic in­ter­sec­tion.

Po­lice said the 29-year-old vic­tim, of Sime­on Road, Pe­tit Val­ley, was dri­ving his red car east along Tra­garete Road, Wood­brook, when he stopped at the red light near Mario’s Pizze­ria, Cipri­ani Boule­vard.

The vic­tim claimed that while wait­ing at the in­ter­sec­tion, a man dressed in a black dress and black wig jumped in­to his front pas­sen­ger seat af­ter find­ing the door un­locked and placed an ice pick to his neck. The sus­pect in­struct­ed the vic­tim to dri­ve on­to Vic­to­ria Av­enue and stop near Tran­quil­i­ty Gov­ern­ment Sec­ondary School.

The sus­pect then took $200 in cash along with the vic­tim’s gold chain, val­ued at $3,500, be­fore jump­ing out of the car and run­ning to­wards Lapey­rose Ceme­tery where he climbed the wall and dis­ap­peared.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions led po­lice of­fi­cers to St Vin­cent Street, Tu­na­puna, where they ar­rest­ed the sus­pect.
