Taxi driver robbed at gunpoint

A taxi driver was confronted by four men armed with guns and knives, last night, after responding to a call in Marsden Park.

Police said the taxi driver received a booking to pick up four people at a caravan park in Marsden Park and drive them to Parramatta about 8pm on Thursday.

The driver stopped the vehicle a short distance from the caravan park in Hollinsworth Road after spotting a man beside the road.

The man confirmed he had made the booking and asked the driver to wait for the other passengers, he told police.

The driver was then confronted by four other men armed with firearms and knives.

They demanded his wallet, mobile phone and cash before fleeing the scene, police said.

The victim was not hurt but left shaken by the ordeal, police said.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the armed robbery or any suspicious activity in the vicinity of Hollinsworth Road, Marsden Park, overnight to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800333000.
