Official police appeal.


Witnesses sought to Nuneaton robbery

https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/news ... n-robbery/

We’re appealing for witnesses to come forward after a robbery in Nuneaton.

A taxi driver was parked in a taxi rank in Bridge Street around 8pm on Thursday (17 March) when he was approached by a man.

The man asked the driver if he could take him somewhere before threatening him with what is believed to be a bladed article.

A money bag containing a quantity of cash and some electronic equipment was removed from the seat of the taxi then the man made off. The taxi driver was uninjured but shaken by the incident.

The man, who is described as white, around 18 years old, approximately 5ft 8in tall, clean shaven, with short dark hair, was believed to be wearing dark coloured clothing.

We’re particularly keen to speak to anyone who has either CCTV or doorbell footage of the incident.

Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting incident 508 of 17 March.

First time I've read something like that. But good luck with it :-s

But you'd think they would state where the robbery took place if they want people to be checking 'doorbell footage' and the like :?

Not even 100% clear if the car had left the rank when the robbery took place. Presumably it had, but location-wise everything seems a bit vague :?

There's also this in the Coventry Telegaraph rehash. Which is a bit more informative as regards the location. But for those of us who don't know the area, still not 100% certain whether the car actually left the rank.

Comms, eh? [-(
