Appeal to find man who robbed taxi driver at knifepoint


At around 12.50am a man got into the back of a taxi on the Old Steine, Brighton. He asked the driver to take him to Abbey Road but during the journey directed him to Sudeley Place where the taxi stopped.

On asking for the fare, the man reached forward from the back passenger seat and grabbed at the driver’s money bag with one hand and held a knife to his face with the other.

The driver tried to push the man’s hands away but he managed to grab the money bag containing £80-90 and ran away from the taxi.

DC Paul Ash said: “The suspect is described as white with a local accent, in his early 20s, around 5’ 10” in height and of an average build. He had a long thin face with dark short hair and a large scab on his right eyebrow.

“This was an extremely serious and violent attack on an innocent member of the public trying to go about their job. It was a very scary attack on the taxi driver who was clearly shaken by what happened, but thankfully uninjured.

“We are urging anyone who recognises this man to contact police or if they can offer any information on what happened. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 34 of 18/04. Alternatively, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 (www.crimestoppers-uk.org).”

I initially thought that, but as far as I'm aware it's a dual SD unit.

With camera and fitting about £400. Should record with one camera for about 28 days.

Two things, firstly I agree it didn't stop him getting robbed, but it will ensure the scumbag gets nicked.

Secondly the press has ensured many 1000s of folks now know that we all have proper CCTV and it's gives out very good clear footage.

And that will help no-end.

Agreed, but it's a licensing condition.
