Taxi Driver Online

This was actually posted last week.

This piece from the News & Star, but the photo of the actual vehicle and fire don't appear on the Cumbria Police appeal on Facebook, so presumably that photo wasn't officially issued by police. Which, obviously, seems to be consistent with normal practice.

Certainly not the best photos for ID purposes, though
