MAN AND WOMAN IN JAIL AFTER KNIFE ROBBERY OF TAXI DRIVER IN NORTH LANARKSHIRE
A man and a woman have been jailed after they
admitted to
robbing a cabbie at knifepoint in Coatbridge. The terrifying incident took place on September 9 2024, when Mark Doyle, 36, and Jamie Lee Black, 29, booked a taxi shortly after 1am from Langloan Street. During their appearance at Airdrie Sheriff Court, both Doyle and Black pleaded guilty to assaulting the male driver and robbing him of
cash and his car keys. Prosecutor Kevin Morrow told the court the pair entered the taxi and asked to be driven to Manse Street. “Then the two accused presented knives and Doyle said: ‘give us all your money’,” Morrow stated. Doyle took about £200 in fares from a pencil case in the car’s door pocket, along with the keys from the ignition, before the pair fled. Doyle and Black were found an
hour later at a Langloan Street address. Black was in possession of over £80 in notes and coins, and reportedly told police: “We were only going out for fags. I didn’t know he was going to do this.” Sentencing was deferred for background reports. Due to the seriousness of the crime, Sheriff Derek Livingston remanded them in custody, refusing to continue bail.
ARREST MADE AFTER NOTTINGHAM UBER DRIVER SUBJECTED TO RACIST ABUSE
A 20-year-old man was arrested in Nottingham after an Uber driver was reportedly spat on and subjected to racist abuse. The incident took place around 9.30pm on August 30, on Victoria Street. According to Nottinghamshire Police, an intoxicated man entered the parked Uber and demanded to be driven. When the driver explained he could only transport passengers with a pre-arranged booking, the man became aggressive.
The passenger then got out of the 56
car, challenged the driver to a fight, and, as the driver began to record him, allegedly “hurled racist abuse and
threats...before spitting at the driver.”
Officers located the suspect nearby and he was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault and has since been bailed with conditions while the investigation continues. PC Harry Brown described the incident as “appalling.” He added: “It is simply not okay for anyone to subject anyone to racial abuse.” He said the attack left the victim “too distressed to carry on with his shift,”
highlighting that “such
behaviour can have a real, longstanding impact on victims.”
