Terrified Cabbie Robbed At Gunpoint
A taxi driver was held up at gunpoint after dropping off customers in a
Lincoln street.
The incident took place after the driver had taken a group to Mill Road, off
Burton Road, Lincoln.
The 24-year-old male driver, who was in a blue Peugeot 406 saloon car,
had just dropped two women off.
He then reversed into Mill Road to turn round.
He was approached by two men and wound down his window.
He was threatened with a handgun and forced to hand over his cash -
around £100.
The first suspect is described as white, 6ft and wearing a black or dark
baseball cap with a green scarf covering his face and a tracksuit top.
There is no description of the second offender, other than he is thought to
have a local accent.
After the robbery, which happened at about 3.05am on Saturday, the pair
walked off towards Mill Row.
The two women passengers, who are believed to live in the vicinity of
Wilson Street, could be potential witnesses.
