Cabbies claim nightclub gouging over pick-ups

Managers of a five-star hotel say they are investigating a report that security staff at the hotel's nightclub have been charging taxi drivers to pick up guests.

A representative from the security department at the Empark Grand Hotel told METRO on Tuesday that he had no knowledge of security guards collecting money from taxi drivers.

"We are investigating it right now. Those security guards have no relationship with us," said the worker, who declined to be named.
