Police seek amorous taxi driver
…man wanted for attempted rape
An Essequibo taxi driver is on the run, according to the police, after he allegedly lured a 17-year-old girl into a secluded neighbourhood on the Essequibo Coast and attempted to rape her.
The man has four previous allegations of rape against him.
Police said they are eager to hear the taxi driver’s version of what transpired last Sunday evening.
On Sunday, the man was said to be transporting several passengers, including the teen.
According to further reports, after discharging each individual passenger to their destination on the Essequibo Coast, the 17-year-old was said to be the last passenger remaining in the taxi driver’s car.
But before the teenager was taken to relatives, with whom she was vacationing, she was taken to a secluded back street in Charity.
The report added that the teenager forcefully warded off the driver. She later told her relatives what transpired and a complaint was lodged with the police. The teenager is said to be from a riverain community.
Police continue to pursue the taxi driver.
