On Saturday morning about 11:20 a.m., there men got into a taxi in front of the 7-Eleven in Portsmouth, according to a police news release. The men told the driver they wanted to be taken to Del Mar Lane in Newport News.

When they arrived on Del Mar Lane, two of the men held the driver while the third man robbed him, police wrote in the release. The men stole cash and the driver’s cell phone before getting out of the car.
