A taxi driver was on Monday robbed of his motorcar and other valuables by three identifiable men, two of whom were armed with weapons.
The 38-year-old man who resides at Kitty, Georgetown, was relieved of one silver Toyota Allion, registration number HC 1720, valued at $1.5 million, a Samsung Pro cellphone valued at $27,000, $41,000 cash, and car documents.
The Guyana Police Force in a report stated that the incident occurred in the vicinity of Pradoville, East Coast Demerara while the man was plying his trade as a taxi driver.
According to police, the three men were picked up at Mandela Avenue and requested to be taken to Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
However, as the driver turned onto the Ogle Access Road the suspects requested to go to Pradoville instead.
After reaching a “dead-end” in Pradoville, two of the suspects who were armed with ice picks held up the victim and demanded that he hand over his valuables.
The other suspect relieved him of his phone and cash.
The robbers then instructed the man to exit the car which they used to escape in a westerly direction.
