CABBIE WATCH
BRADFORD CABBIE WHO AIDED ABDUCTION VICTIM SOUGHT
A taxi driver may hold vital information about those responsible for the suspected abduc- tion of a man late at night, police believe. The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that the cabbie came to the rescue of the 28-year- old suspected robbery victim from Leeds who is believed to have been abandoned in his night clothes in Brad- ford in the early hours of Friday 15 July. The man was taken from his Harehills home on the Thursday night. He was then dumped in Bradford without any money or a mobile phone. Four people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
The taxi driver is believed to have picked up the man near Lumb Lane, Brad- ford. He then drove the man, described as being “vulnerable”, home to Leeds.
It is thought the driver of the black and white cab may have recog- nised the man when he found him wandering. Police have appealed for the cabbie to con- tact DC Steven Hutch- inson at Millgarth Police Station on 0845 60 60 606. Police have arrested and charged a 37-year- old Leeds man with attempted robbery, robbery, and assault. Two other men and a woman remained in custody.
