Man’s car stolen after stopping to urinate on highway

A Claxton Bay man was almost caught literally with his pants down when bandits ambushed him after he stopped at the side of the highway to urinate. Around 2 am on August 4, the man was driving south along the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway when he stopped along the shoulder near the Ato Boldon Stadium to urinate. The 36-year-old victim got out of his green Nissan B-14 and left it idling as he went to the nearby bushes to relieve himself. While urinating, he saw a white Toyota Axio stop behind him and two men began approaching him. He ran into the tall bushes in fear and when he returned a short while later, his car, valued at $18,000, was gone. PC Bacchus of the Couva Police Station is investigating.
