Kaieteur News – A 53-year-old taxi driver was lured into a trap by his passenger who along with another man, hijacked his silver-grey Toyota 212 motorcar, PKK 1580, and robbed him.

According to police, the passenger had stopped the taxi driver, in the vicinity of Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) and hired him for a trip to Back School in East Ruimveldt.

Upon arrival, around 23:30 hrs, Monday, the passenger then made a call and he further requested to be taken to Rasville, next to the New Guyana School.
