As crim­i­nals con­tin­ue to evolve in their strate­gies to find more vic­tims, ACP Crim­i­nal Di­vi­sion and Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Richard Smith is urg­ing ride-share taxi dri­vers to ex­er­cise cau­tion when pick­ing up cus­tomers, es­pe­cial­ly at night.

Smith’s warn­ing comes as sev­er­al ride-share dri­vers have been robbed and at­tacked by ban­dits pos­ing as le­git­i­mate cus­tomers.

For 2025 there have been at least five in­stances where dri­vers were robbed when they ar­rived at dif­fer­ent ar­eas to meet “cus­tomers.”
