A 57-year-old taxi dri­ver was robbed of his ve­hi­cle in San­gre Grande on Thurs­day night.

Po­lice said around 8.10 pm, Kelvin Ra­moutar of Nar­i­va Road No. 3, Man­zanil­la, was op­er­at­ing his sil­ver Nis­san Y11, reg­is­tra­tion PBY 6259, for hire near Top of the Line Meat Mart on the East­ern Main Road. He was ap­proached by three men who asked to be tak­en to Man­rick Street.

When they ar­rived, the men asked him to turn in­to the street. Ra­moutar be­came sus­pi­cious and re­fused, but the sus­pects then an­nounced a rob­bery. He was placed in a head­lock, pulled from the car and thrown on­to the road­way be­fore the men drove off with the ve­hi­cle.
