Taxi driver robbed at gunpoint in Openshaw

A taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint as he went to collect a fare in Openshaw.

The victim went to answer a call at an address on Cheeryble Street when two men approached him.

They pointed a gun at the 42-year-old driver and escaped with cash and his mobile phone.

The victim was unhurt in the incident which happened about 1.30am this morning (October 10).

The offenders were two white men in their mid 20s. One was wearing a grey tracksuit and the other was dressed in dark clothing.

Detective Constable Sarah Wright said: “Thankfully the victim was not hurt, although he has been left badly shaken up.

“This man was simply doing his job when he went to this address, only to find himself the victim of an armed robbery.”

What on earth are these idiots doing using a gun to rob someone of a phone and a few quid If caught they will get a hefty sentence because a gun was involved. I bet the driver was quite shaken as well speaking as someone who has been the victim of armed robbery it takes a long time to get over the shock

heres hoping the police take this seriously and go after the toerags

You/we/I are trying to rational why these scumbags are scumbags, sadly we will never understand other than maybe they think they will get away with it.
