The Khomas police are investigating two robberies that occurred on Monday in which a taxi driver was robbed of his vehicle, and a woman was robbed of her property while boarding a taxi.

Police spokesperson Silas Shipandeni said on that day at around 10h00 in Freedom Square, Katutura, a woman was robbed of her property while in a grey Toyota Corolla ‘Dankie Botswana’ taxi by three unknown men, who threatened her with a screwdriver. After robbing her, they also pushed her out of the vehicle. 

“The complainant did not manage to take down the registration number of the taxi due to the circumstances. The complainant was robbed of her iPhone, laptop, gold watch and cash valued at N$18 000. No arrest and no recovery have been made yet, and investigations in this matter will continue,” he said.
