This is just unbelievable.
A driver who I will not name. picked up a fair from locking road in weston-super-mare yesterday. The chap wanted to go to Birmingham. The time was approx 1 in the afternoon
He should no strange signs on the way there and payed the fair up front with no problem.
On arriving the chap asked to driver to hang on for two minutes.
He was in a pub car park in broad daylight at about 3-4 pm
A black 55 reg seat neon pulled in, the chap got out saying thankyou. Shut the door than ran around to the drivers door and pulled a gun. Another chap got out the the car and pointed a gun at him too. He was ordered out of the car and the chap who was the passenger jumped in and drive off. the other car left too.
The taxi was found apparently at 3 in the morning with the interior burnt.
The chap who stole it was a black chap and the car was an auqa nissan primera. The taxi sign was trangular yellow on black front, black on red to the rear. If an driver in the area of west brom think they saw this car with a black bloke driving it please contact west brom police.
Thats all the info I have at the mo

Thanks

It just gets worse!!!! what the hell is next????

Bundles more to this than meets the eye.

At a guess I would say they wanted the motor for a robbery, but then the driver would be able to ID the mush.

Strange, but worrying. :sad:

Yeah quite agree sussex.

They clearly wanted a motor for somthing. Seems a bit extreme to get a free lift home.

The report says that the guy paid up front so it wasn't even a free ride. Mind you the driver probably had to use the fare to get a taxi back to weston super mare.
I wonder just how many cab drivers in west bromwich fit the discription?
Most of them , probably.

It doesn't say that the cash was in the car. I always carry my cash on me.
