Taxi driver killed in Estonia, suspects arrested in Lithuania

On Sunday at about 21:00, Estonian police received a report that close to Pernu, a Mercedes Benz E220 was stolen from a taxi driver and the 65-year old driver himself had disappeared and was unreachable, according to the Estonian news portal postimees.ee.

Investigators found that about an hour later, at 22:00 the hijacked car had crossed the Estonian-Latvian border. The search for the suspects was then passed over to Latvian and Lithuanian police.

Shortly after, a report came from Lithuania that the Mercedes taxi and the 18 year-old and 20 year-old men who were in the car had been detained. Both men are Estonian citizens who had recently lived in the United Kingdom.
