A 40-year-old counter clerk was kid­napped and robbed af­ter en­ter­ing a car she be­lieved to be a taxi in San Fer­nan­do on Fri­day night.

Po­lice said around 8.50 pm, the woman was stand­ing near Li­brary Cor­ner when a white Nis­san B15 pulled up. She en­tered the car, be­liev­ing it to be a taxi, and asked to be tak­en to Dow Vil­lage, South Oropouche.

When the dri­ver reached the Oropouche round­about, he turned on­to the Shore of Peace road­way in­stead and con­tin­ued dri­ving, tak­ing her against her will. He then de­mand­ed her be­long­ings, and she hand­ed over her Sam­sung A05 cell­phone and a wal­let con­tain­ing $13.
