21 December, 2007 POLICE are appealing for witnesses after three taxi drivers were robbed in separate incidents last weekend. The first robbery happened in the early hours of last Friday after a taxi picked up three men from Iver railway station. The driver was threatened with what is believed to have been a firearm as the taxi headed towards Slough. Shortly afterwards they arrived in Osborne Street where the offenders grabbed the driver's takings and cash from his wallet, totalling around £150. They then ran off towards Herschel Street. All three men are black, aged in their late teens or early 20s, and were wearing dark clothing. They were last seen near Slough bus station. The next day at about 4.30am, another taxi picked up two men from an address in Maidenhead. The driver took the pair to Garrard Road, Britwell, where they threatened him with a knife and stole takings of approximately £150. One of the men is described as white, aged between 18 and 20, with black hair and a goatee beard. He was wearing a light-coloured hooded top. The second man is of mixed race and was wearing a light-coloured hooded top. On Sunday at about 2.50am two men were picked up at Tesco Express in Slough. The taxi took them to Station Road, Langley, where they threatened the driver with a knife and stole takings of about £120. One of the men is said to be white and the other black. Officers are keeping an open mind as to whether the three incidents are linked. Anyone with information should contact Detective Constable Marc Skinner, or Detective Constable Stuart Ritchie via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505 or phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
