The Baltimore Police Department is investigating a string of robberies where the suspects use Rideshare apps to carjack the drivers and then use the app to pick up victims and either rob them from Cash App or drive them to ATMs.
“It’s a little bit scary,” said Kofi Ajyepoing, a Lyft driver.
Ajyepoing has been a driver for Lyft for three years and says he’s had to find his own ways of protecting himself.
“I use two phones, the one is the hotspot, so I have to keep the original one. So even if they take the one with the hotspot, you can’t use it. I can block it from the other one. So that’s the only way I protect myself,” Ajyepoing said.
Some rideshare users say they felt it was the safest way of getting around, but now give it a second thought.
