Brighton taxi driver robbed in his car


A taxi driver was attacked and robbed by two customers.

The two men put the driver in a headlock before taking his float and a set of keys in Davey Drive, Hollingdean, at about 7.30pm on Tuesday.

The Brighton and Hove Streamline taxi driver had just dropped a fare off in Sandhurst Avenue when the two men hailed him down near the junction with Warren Road.

As he turned into Southmount Road he was attacked before the pair ran off.

Detective Sergeant Chris Sherwell from Brighton and Hove CID said: "This was a very worrying encounter for the taxi driver who was going about his normal business. We are keen to trace the suspects and would urge people to please come forward who may know the identity of the suspects.”

The suspects are described as white, between 5ft9 and 6ft, in their 20s with dark short hair.

One was described as thin with a slim face whilst the other was stocky with a fuller face and was wearing a white long sleeved top.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 1377 of 20/12 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Be very nice to see these scumbags caught.

And then see their names and addresses published.

Because they are told by their so-called reps that it's a breach of their human rights and it cost far too much money.

The question remains how much does being dead cost you? :?

Not all councils allow CCTV to be fitted and some vehicles the field of view can be very restricted because of the layout
