A daring robbery on a maxi taxi along the Priority Bus Route (PBR) in Arouca, Trinidad, has left passengers and drivers alarmed, prompting calls for heightened security measures. The incident occurred on November 19 around 4:45 pm, when five men, one armed with a knife, boarded the vehicle as it stopped to drop off a female passenger near Bon Air West. The assailants stole $300 from the driver before targeting passengers, snatching cellphones and cash. Dash cam footage captured a female passenger struggling with one of the robbers over her purse, while others screamed in distress. The suspects fled northward into Bon Air West. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Rishi Singh confirmed the ongoing investigation but could not confirm any arrests. He urged maxi-taxi drivers to install dash cams and trust their instincts when picking up passengers. Singh also assured the public of increased police presence on the PBR, including routine stops and searches. Passengers and drivers at City Gate expressed their concerns, with many emphasizing the need for vigilance, especially as the holiday season approaches. One driver, previously robbed, highlighted the necessity of continuing work despite the risks. Passengers shared their fears and strategies for staying safe, such as carrying less cash and securing belongings. The incident has underscored the urgent need for enhanced security measures on public transportation routes.
