http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2012/05/17/police-hunt-bogus-taxi-after-blundellsands-businessman-is-targeted-in-shooting-100252-30986564/ POLICE were today hunting a bogus taxi driver after a well-known Merseyside businessman was targeted in a drive-by shooting. A passenger in a blue Audi with Sefton taxi plates fired a shotgun at nightclub owner Terry Riley’s silver Range Rover in Abbotsford Road, Blundellsands, yesterday morning. The ECHO understands dad-of-two Mr Riley, 43, who was uninjured in the incident, chased the gunman’s vehicle along Kenilworth Road, Blundellsands Road East, College Road and Oxford Road before losing sight of it. The head of Merseyside police’s Matrix unit today said he believed a number of unlicensed taxi drivers were involved in organised crime. Chief Superintendent Tony Doherty also urged legitimate cabbies to identify the driver of the Audi – thought to be an A4, A5 or A6 model – involved in the shooting at 8am yesterday. Police sealed off a large area around Blundellsands and Crosby railway station, which is just yards from the scene of the gun attack. Dozens of commuters were queuing for rush-hour train services at the time. Rod Clarke, who was working at the Green Kiosk newsagent at the station, said: "I heard a loud bang. I thought it was car backfiring until the police arrived." Mr Doherty said: "This was an extremely reckless incident showing complete disregard for people going about their ordinary business in the middle of rush hour and during the school run. "The station was busy with commuters and we are appealing to these people to contact us if they believe they have any information that could help our investigation and put those responsible behind bars. "We also ask members of the community to contact us if they noticed any cars either missing from their street this morning or abandoned in their area." The Matrix unit is currently leading an operation into the criminal use of taxis linked to gun crime and drug-dealing. |

If the vehicle was carrying sefton plates then surely it was a licensed vehicle and traceable unless the plates were stolen and being used to disguise the vehicle |

I think that makes them taxi drivers, or perhaps ex-taxi drivers or ph drivers, in fact, anyone with a knowledge of the taxi/ph industry.

It's a war... more likely private hire stickers on doors.. bid value houses in that area..... but quite a few things have happened.... nightclub was torched.... houses have been burnt out, and even a hand grenade left on a X football's front gate.... there have been convictions all smack heads, quite near me actually... and Terry was always a nice boy. |

I'd like to hear your description of an unlicensed taxi driver, oh no I don't need you to describe it you are it
