Taxi driver held at knifepoint



A NESTON woman has been arrested on suspicion of taking part in a robbery in Ellesmere Port.

Police say between 3am and 3.30am on Friday, August 12, a taxi driver picked up a man and a woman in the town.

The passengers asked to be dropped off at the corner of Whitby Road and Princes Road, but then they subsequently threatened the driver with a knife and stole cash from him.

The victim got out of his car in a bid to escape harm and the male suspect drove off in the Peugeot 406 taxicab, which was later found abandoned on Victoria Road.

The taxi driver, a 59-year-old man from Ellesmere Port, was uninjured but "shaken" following the ordeal.

Detectives began examining the circumstances surrounding the incident and the investigation led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man from Tyneside, Merseyside and a 31-year-old woman from Neston on Monday, August 15.

They remain in police custody where they will be interviewed by detectives.

That'll be private hire then, not that it makes much difference to the poor driver. Neston's suppose to be a nice part of the Wirral Peninsula, times must be hard
