3 men who allegedly assaulted and robbed a taxi driver in Caubati on Monday afternoon will appear in the Nasinu Magistrates Court today.

Police say the three are in their 20s and allegedly assaulted and robbed the driver of his mobile phone and money.

The trio had hired the victim’s taxi from Laucala and asked to be dropped off in Caubati, where the alleged incident occurred.

Police say a team from the Southern Division was formed to apprehend the suspects, and all three men, who reside in Cunningham, were arrested and charged with one count of aggravated robbery.

They say officers managed to recover the victim’s mobile phone.
