Taxi driver robbed, relieved of car by knife-wielding customer

The motor car belonging to Deendyal Budram, a taxi driver attached to the Munish Taxi Service located at Nonpariel, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was hijacked on Saturday evening by a lone attacker who also relieved the owner of his cash and personal belongings.
Based on reports received, Budram was approached by a man who was clad in a white T-shirt and black short pants at about 19:00h requesting to be taken to Friendship, ECD. Upon reaching the village, he was directed to a dead end road.
While there, he further told Guyana Times that as he turned the vehicle around, he was held at knifepoint by the passenger who was seated in the front passengers’ seat of the car.
“He hold me shirt front and pull out a knife and he tell me that I must give he everything,” the traumatised man relayed.
Fearful for his life, he took out $13,000 cash which was in his pocket along with his smart phone and handed it to the perpetrator. A seemingly unsatisfied carjacker then pushed Budram out of the Silver Grey Raum bearing registration number HC 6506 and drove away.
The man then walked to another branch of the taxi service at Buxton and related what took place. He also called his employer. The traumatised man then went to the Vigilance Police Station where he made a report.
The Police have since obtained CCTV footage from the Nonpariel base which is being used as they continue their investigations.
Just a few weeks ago, another employee of the said taxi service was also attacked and robbed at Ruimveldt, Georgetown. The victim, Ramnarine, was requested by a customer to be taken to Ruimveldt but was attacked and robbed of his valuables.
That matter was also reported but no one was arrested even though CCTV footage was obtained.
