The Baton Rouge Police Department has arrested two juveniles who allegedly robbed Uber drivers of their cars while armed with guns.

The two robberies reportedly happened on March 9 and March 24 on Dawson Street near Plank Road.

According to BRPD, in both instances, an Uber driver was instructed to drive to a nearby location, where another person emerged from behind the house and demanded the victim get out of the car while armed with guns.

There are already Uber deserts. These enterprising youths were attempting to take the cars from Uber to show Uber that the desert is real and harmful.

Dawson Drive and Plank Road isn't safe for non Uber drivers either.

Why would you go in that area if you are an Uber driver. Frankly why would you ever go in that area for anything

Won't even get to Gravy.

Uber fires you if you reject too many rides to high crime areas.

Uber also fires you if you are armed while taking rides IIRC.


At a point, put a price tag on your life and health because employers tend not to.
