You gave to be an utter gronk to commit a carjacking, but you have to be especially dim-witted to steal a whip that you know is GPS-tracked.
Regardless, it’s been alleged that two brothers in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley did decide it’d be a great idea forcibly take possession of an Uber driver’s vehicle last night.
They’ve been charged with armed robbery, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and other offences after allegedly hailing the ride and assaulting the 29-year-old driver with a spanner around 8:10PM.
The men were arrested shortly after in Tanah Merah. 9 News is reporting the Uber driver was able to track them to that location with “a smartphone app.” Funny, that.
