A PH taxi driver was robbed of $1,600 in cash, a wallet with personal documents, and a cellular phone on Beach Road, Palo Seco on June 15, 2026, after picking up four passengers—two men and two women—along High Street, Siparia.

The driver was struck on the head with a firearm during the attack, causing him to lose control of the vehicle, which crashed into a nearby drain. The suspects fled on foot with the stolen property. The injured driver reported the incident to police and was advised to seek medical attention.
