Two Russian tourists in Hanoi allegedly had their phones stolen by a taxi driver Thursday while charging them inside the car.

The two women, unnamed, were grabbing a cab to Hang Bong Street in downtown Hoan Kiem District at around 3 a.m. En route, the tourists asked the driver to charge their two phones.

When they reached Hang Bong, they told the driver to wait so they could convert their $100 to Vietnamese dong to pay the fare. But the moment the tourists got out, the driver sped off, along with their two phones.
