A driver who used a ride share app was robbed by three men shortly after picking them up along Picton Road, Laventille, on Monday afternoon.

Around 2:10 p.m., the 39-year-old driver of a white Toyota Axio went to the vicinity of Our Lady of Laventille RC School to collect a passenger he believed had booked a trip through the TT Ride Share app. Instead, three men approached and entered his vehicle.

After he drove a short distance, one of the suspects grabbed him by the neck while the others robbed him of several cell phones, jewellery, and cash before fleeing on foot along Picton Road.
