Two male offenders had a cab driver alter his course before robbing him in Marconi Monday.
At 6:52 p.m., the figures flagged down the motorist at 10th Street and Oregon Avenue, instructing him to take them to 16th and Pollock streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. During the journey, they changed the destination to the 2900 block of South Sydenham Street and upon reaching the latter location, the first offender produced a handgun and demanded “Give me your money,” grabbing approximately $100 from the complainant’s hands before bolting into Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St.
The uninjured victim described the first man as white, in his late 20s and 6 foot; having a thin build; being clean-shaven; armed with a dark-colored handgun; and wearing a blue hoodie and dark pants; and the second as white and 6 foot and wearing a dark-colored jacket and dark pants. A detailed description of the second male was not available as of press time.
