Along the way, one of the passengers, who was seated at the back seat, indicated that he wanted to be dropped, claiming that he had reached his destination.
Gabriel was sprayed with pepper spray on the face.
The robbers opened the driver’s door and pushed Gabriel out of the car and sped off. Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case.
“Police are investigating a robbery case where an InDrive driver lost his car and other valuables.
“Total value stolen is US$6,580.
“A cell phone, which is connected to the vehicle tracking system, was also stolen,” said Insp Chakanza.
