Four teenage boys, between the ages of 14 and 16, are in police custody following a violent robbery in Sangre Grande.

According to police reports, around midnight on June 25, a 48-year-old private hire (PH) driver from Mora Trace, Matura, picked up four passengers on the Toco Main Road. The group requested to be taken to Five Acres, Vega de Oropouche.

Upon reaching the destination, one of the teenagers asked the driver to turn onto a side road as he claimed he had some money to collect from someone in that area. The driver complied with the request.
