8 Jan 2008 Robbers strike at taxi firm DETECTIVES in Colchester are appealing for witnesses after a taxi company was robbed by three men. At about 1.30am yesterday, the three men entered the company's Botolphs Street office, above Subway, and threatened a woman taxi controller. They were wearing stockings over their faces and it is believed that one of them was carrying a knife. The robbers took several thousand pounds in cash and also made off with specialist equipment, including a satellite navigation system. It is believed they drove off in a waiting car. The taxi controller, a 37-year-old woman from the Colchester area, was uninjured during the raid but shocked. All three of the offenders were described as black men. One was 5ft 6ins tall, of large build and wearing a silver grey zip-up bomber jacket, black tracksuit and white trainers. He had a London accent and chains around his neck. The second was around 6ft tall, slim, and aged in his mid twenties. The third was also around 6ft tall, was very slim and wearing a hoodie-style tracksuit. Police want to hear from anyone who was in the area of Botolphs Street in the early hours of the morning and who may have seen the men before or after the robbery. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det Sgt Danny Stoten on 01206 762212, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Source: Suffolk & Essex Online |
