OFFICERS are following up a number of lines of enquiry and are continuing to appeal for information, following reports of a knife-wielding bogus taxi driver operating in Grimsby, last month.

As previously reported, Police are investigating reports that a bogus taxi driver operating in Grimsby picked up a knife after being challenged by a passenger.

The incident happened in the Riverhead area of Grimsby at 12.30pm on Sunday, September 18 - when a man and woman got into a silver Mondeo, which was parked in a taxi rank. The man challenged the driver after being quoted a fare he believed was too high and spotting that no meter was fitted to the vehicle.

A verbal altercation ensued, during which it is claimed the driver showed the passengers a knife. However, no threats were made. The couple got out of the vehicle and the driver left the scene.

The suspect is described as being of Asian appearance, with a strong Indian accent. He had black hair, which was cropped on top and very short at the sides and was of a very slim build.

A Police spokesperson said: "Officers are following up a number of lines of inquiry and are continuing to appeal for information."

If a mush I was having a verbal with suddenly showed me a knife, I would take that as a rather big threat.
