Police have arrested two men in connection with the robbery of a taxi driver.

According to a Police spokesman, Police received the report of the robbery at around midnight last night.

“It appears that around 11.50pm on Monday, a taxi driver was flagged down by an unknown male on South Road in Southampton, near the junction with Horseshoe Road,” the spokesman said.

“As the taxi stopped in the bus turn around area, the vehicle was apparently approached by three other males, two brandishing blunt objects and one brandishing a bladed article.

“The taxi driver, a 44-year-old Pembroke man, had a quantity of cash and his cellphone taken, however he was not injured.

“The male that flagged down the taxi was described as light skinned, between 5ft 6in and 5ft 8in tall of stocky build and believed to be approximately 16 to18 years old. He was said to be wearing grey sweat pants and a grey sweat top with a hood, while the other three males were believed to be wearing white T-shirts with other dark coloured clothing.

“Police officers promptly attended the scene and searched the surrounding area, where a 22-year-old man and a 13-year-old male were located and arrested in connection with this incident.”

Police are still carrying out inquiries into the incident, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Criminal Investigation Department on 295-0011.
