Police have charged a woman after she allegedly robbed and stole from taxi-drivers in two separate incidents at Logan, Queensland Police say.
Around 10.45pm on Sunday September 16, the woman booked a taxi to pick her up from an address at Borambil Road, Shailer Park.
When the driver arrived, the woman and two men entered the vehicle and the driver began the journey to her requested destination at a service station on Loganlea Road, Loganlea.
During the journey, it will be alleged that the woman became aggressive, verbally abusing the driver and pushing the back of his seat.
Once at the destination, the driver exited the vehicle and called Triple 0. It will be alleged that the woman and her two friends stole money from inside the vehicle, before fleeing on foot northbound on Loganlea Road.
It is further alleged that the same woman booked a taxi to pick her up from the intersection of Shailer Road and Harley Street last night.
Upon arrival around 10.10pm, the driver asked for the drop-off location, the woman refused to provide an exact address, then allegedly attempted to assault the driver when he refused the journey.
The driver has exited the vehicle and it’s alleged the woman remained in the vehicle, locked the doors and stole cash before running along Harley Street.
Police attended and patrolled the area, where a 34-year-old woman was taken into custody a short time later.
A 34-year-old woman of no fixed address has now been charged with one count each of robbery, stealing, receiving tainted property and possessing a utensil.
She is scheduled to appear at the Beenleigh Magistrates Court today, Tuesday September 18.
