A taximan was robbed of his car today - and then the thieves reportedly used his cab to rob a block factory.

46 year old cabbie Bruce Mangar drove to Hibiscus street to drop off a female passenger - who likely lured him there for a car jacking. That's when two men wearing police type tactical uniforms jumped into his cab and held him at gunpoint. They dragged him into a nearby house, tied his hands and taped his mouth, and threw him in the back seat. They took him to mile 11 on the George Price Highway, tied him to a tree and left him there. He managed to get back to the city and report it to police.

Police suspect that same vehicle then went on to rob a business in the area. Mangar was also robbed of almost two thousand dollars in cash which was in his vehicle.
