Taxi robber is jailed
EDITORIAL - editorial@thecomet.net
A MAN who robbed taxi drivers at knifepoint has been jailed for seven years.

Dean Morris, 21, of Shrubland Road, Hackney, was found guilty last Thursday of two robberies following a trial at Luton Crown Court.

The first happened at around 2.50am on March 6 this year in Mobbsbury Way, Stevenage.

The 36-year-old driver had picked up a fare from the taxi rank opposite McDonalds restaurant on Stevenage Leisure Park.

At the junction of Mobbsbury Way and Drakes Drive, Morris threatened him with what is believed to be a knife and demanded his takings. Shortly after 8.05pm three days later, a 38-year-old driver collected a fare from Stevenage Rail Station.

In Drakes Drive, Morris again produced what is believed to be a knife and threatened the driver before making off with cash and a radio mouthpiece.

After the hearing, Dc Helen Flynn from the eastern area burglary and robbery unit said: "This sentence reflects the robust stance taken by the police and the courts against robbers.

"Morris's conviction and sentence sends out a clear message that if you commit robbery in Hertfordshire you will be pursued, arrested and brought to justice.
