A taxi driver has been arrested for locking a mainland family of five in his taxi on Saturday, Public Security Police (PSP) Wong Wai Chon said during a regular press conference yesterday.
According to Wong, the suspect is a local man in his thirties surnamed Chan.
Wong said that the five passengers including a baby got into the taxi driven by Chan at 12:30 p.m. at the Barrier Gate, asking him to take them to a resort hotel in Cotai. Soon after setting off, Chan told the passengers that they needed to pay him 400 patacas for the ride. The passengers didn’t respond to his request.
