A 67-year-old taxi dri­ver from La Hor­quet­ta was kid­napped and robbed of his taxi by three men pre­tend­ing to be pas­sen­gers. 

The vic­tim picked up the three men around 9pm on the Au­gust 10 at the Mal­abar Taxi Stand, Pro Queen Street, Ari­ma. 

As he fol­lowed their di­rec­tions to Bell­bird Av­enue the men or­dered the vic­tim to stop in the vicin­i­ty of the HDC con­struc­tion site. 

As he re­sist­ed, one of the pas­sen­gers pulled out a gun and an­nounced a rob­bery. 

As the vic­tim was made to sit in the back, one of the sus­pects got be­hind the wheel and drove to the O’meara In­dus­tri­al Es­tate – where they robbed the dri­ver of his car Maz­da AD wag­on and an iPhone val­ued TT $900. 

He was then tied up and left in a bushy area
