Windsor clubgoer raped in 'black taxi cab'

A TEENAGER was raped in the early hours of this morning in Windsor after a night out.

The 19-year-old left Liquid nightclub, in William Street, just before 3am today to search for a taxi when she was approached by two men in Victoria Street claiming they were driving a taxi.

The victim got into their car in Alexandra Road and when it set off, she was sexually assaulted inside the vehicle.

She managed to escape when the car stopped and ran off.

Police are investigating the report.

Detective Inspector Andy Howard said: "We are in the early stages of this investigation, but I want to assure the public that everything is being done to locate and arrest these offenders.

"Officers will be out on patrol in the centre of Windsor tonight and I urge anyone with any concerns to approach one of our officers."

The two men are described as Asian while the car was a large, black, cab-style vehicle with five seats.

Dep Insp Howard also warned people in the wake of the attack to only use licensed taxis.

He added: "I also want to take this opportunity to urge people to only use licensed taxis. Where possible, book with a licensed taxi company in advance or if that is not possible, remember you can always ask for proof that a vehicle or driver is licensed.

"A licensed vehicle will display a licence plate on the rear of the vehicle and an internal licence plate with the licensing authority. A licensed driver will carry an identity badge with their licence number and licensing authority on it.

"I would urge people not to get into any vehicles that are touted to them and only to use a pre booked taxi or one from a taxi rank.

"Incidents like this are extremely rare but if you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact police on 101."

Anyone with any information about the incident are urged to contact PC Vickie-Jean Duffty on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

But I would suggest 999 is better in cases like this.

Didnt Windsor get deregulated recently?
This what happens where theres a free for all,
Guys who have no intension of providing real public transport will just come in to the trade as they can do thiese things as its Hackney Carriage people will get into your cab without knowing who you are as they think your legit.

Total bastards, they need catching ASAP.

Cases like this will only increase unless the local councils do more to protect passengers.

That says it all a black cab stlye vehicle ,and they said they drove a taxi. could have been any car & 2 taxi drivers in the same cab. come on...... the girl was proberly [edited by admin] and had blured vision.

Do you really think punters are aware if an area is de-limited?

And these so-called guys coming into it will be licensed and have a £30-40,000 motor, is that your idea of a fly by night?

Not the customers.
Buh who After area de-limits buys cash, Most buy a Cheap cab on finance work shifts make some money and the rest of time go around looking for Vunerable women who flag them and try to Rape, drug, assultt or molest them.
No one will ever buy a Brand New Cab Cash after a area gets De-limited Just for a FRee plate in a market that will be flooded of cabs.

How many taxis have 2 drivers working at the same time?.All sounds a bit blurred.

Possible if both did the day shift for one owner and night shift for another?

So exactly what relevance has your anti delimit post got to do with this rape?
