Female accomplice in taxi carjacking is jailed



A callous couple who held a taxi driver at knifepoint in Iver and stole his car are now both behind bars.

Julie Steel, 33, from Falcon Drive, Staines, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Friday for robbery, knife possession and stealing the driver's silver Mercedes.

She was given a 32-month jail sentence and was disqualified from driving for two years.

Her accomplice, Keith McGarva, was jailed for 41 months and disqualified from driving for three years on February 1.

The attack happened on September 3 last year when en route to Langley, they asked the driver to turn off the main road into Wood Lane, Iver, saying McGarva was going to be sick.

As he stopped, they punched him and McGarva thrust a knife in his face, telling him to hand over everything he had.

The taxi driver managed to escape and the couple abandoned the taxi in Albert Street, Slough, before later being arrested.
