Taxi driver robbed of motor car by men carrying ice picks

A 32-year-old taxi driver of Kitty, Georgetown, was on Monday evening robbed of his motor car by at least three men who were armed with ice picks at Pradoville, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Based on reports received, at about 20:30h on the day in question, the young man was plying his trade and while in the vicinity of Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, he reportedly picked up the three men who requested to be taken to Ogle, ECD.
As he reportedly turned onto the Ogle Access Road, the men requested to be taken to Pradoville instead.
However, upon reaching a dead end, two of the men placed the ice picks to the victim’s body and ordered him to hand over all his valuables. The third suspect then searched his person and took his mobile phone and $42,000 cash.
Soon after, the suspects instructed the victim to exit his silver-grey Toyota Allion motor car bearing registration HC 1720. They then fled the scene in the said motor car, leaving the owner behind. The driver was, however, rescued and a report was subsequently made with the Police.
An investigation is ongoing.
