TWO ARRESTED FOLLOWING ROBBERY AND THREAT AGAINST ABERDEEN TAXI DRIVER
Two people have been arrested following a robbery in Aberdeen that targeted a veteran cabbie in the early hours of October 6. The 59-year-old driver, who has 13 years of experience, was carrying three people when the incident occurred. During the robbery, he
was threatened, chased out of his car, and had his work mobile phone stolen, which was later recovered. The “terrifying” experi- ence has left the driver “shaken up” and considering quitting. He said: “Having people in the back of the car, I’m going to have
this incident in the back of my mind all of the time.” Police Scotland confirmed the arrests of a 32-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman with enquiries ongoing.” The driver is taking time off work and is uncertain if he will return to taxi driving.

HUDDERSFIELD CABBIE SUFFERS ‘SIGNIFICANT FACIAL INJURIES’
Six people - five women aged 20, 21, 25, 27, and 30, and a 17-year-old boy - have been arrested following the robbery of a taxi driver in Huddersfield. West Yorkshire Police were called at 4.10am on October 18, to Market Street, Milnsbridge, after the injury
54
to the cabbie was reported. He was taken to the hospital for treatment for what police described as “significant facial injuries.” The suspects were arrested on suspicion of robbery, interviewed and subsequently released on conditional bail.
Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, has described the spate of thuggery as “very disturbing”. Speaking on behalf of the hundreds of drivers he represents, he said: “I have been made aware of four incidents, and the police have been informed. Let’s hope that they will be reviewing CCTV and these feral young kids will be brought to account.” Mr Jackson added: “It’s very unfair. Our drivers already get abuse, especially racial abuse as well as physical abuse. They are just doing their job. They have a duty of care to our customers to get them safely from A to B. If their vehicle is damaged, they are out of action, and this is their livelihood.”
