Police alert as two taxi drivers are threatened by man with a knife who didn't pay his fare

Police are appealing for information after attempts were made to rob two taxi drivers at knifepoint.

The first attempted robbery happened in Grantham at around 8.40pm on January 20.

A taxi driver dropped a man off to an address on the Earlsfield Estate and the passenger said he was going to get money for his fare.

Shortly afterwards, the taxi driver was threatened by a man with a knife, demanding his wallet and watch.

Despite this, police say he returned to his taxi and drove away unharmed.

The second incident happened in Hornsby Road, Grantham, at around 7.30pm on January 27.

A passenger left the taxi claiming to be going to get money for the fare and the driver was subsequently threatened by a man with a knife asking him to hand over money.

Officers are investigating the incidents and looking into the possibility that the two are linked.

On both occasions, no-one was harmed and no goods were taken.

No doubt Lincolnshire plods will do their usual of wait two weeks before beginning any investigation and then fail despite a clear modus operandi and in all likelihood the perpetrator is probably known to them

typical grotsville full of drug addicts and then periodically they move them to Stamford to get them out of the way and then we have to suffer their shenanigans
