Ipswich: Appeal after taxi driver is robbed at knifepoint

A TAXI driver was robbed at knifepoint in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The incident happened in Bishop’s Hill, Ipswich, at around 4.50am while the taxi driver was sat in his car.

Three men approached the taxi and two got in while the other stood next to it.

The pair who got into the car threatened the driver with a knife and stole cash, a PDA, a sat nav and a mobile phone before hitting him over the head and running off into nearby bushes.

The taxi driver then drove off to find help having suffered facial injuries.

All three men were wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the three men in the area before or after the robbery.

Anyone with information should call Ipswich CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I hope they catch them and feed them to Leroy.

xmas is coming and the scumbags are getting bolder because lets face it the likelihood of the police being able (or willing) to respond is reduced. I just hope no one gets murdered over the festive period

I agree, with us carrying a sum of cash at this time of year I would advise all drivers to hide some in the car boot.
