Police are still hunting for a man who robbed a 30-year-old taxi driver of a phone and over $100 cash in Kalekana, Lami early yesterday morning.
The incident occurred along Qiolevu Road in Sawani.
The man hired the taxi from Suva and drove away with the vehicle after the robbery.
The burnt taxi was later found in Colo-i-Suva.
Meanwhile the Fiji Taxi Association is now calling on all taxi drivers to refrain from wearing jewellery and carrying expensive phones.
General Secretary Rishi Ram adds that taxi drivers should also refrain from carrying a large sum of money in their taxis.
Ram says this is an unfortunate incident and taxi drivers need to be careful as we are about to enter the festive season.
