A taxi driver was threatened and robbed by two men in Luton last Tuesday.
The incident happened at around 1.10am in Russell Rise as the 51-year-old taxi driver collected a fare from the location. As the driver waited, he noticed three men nearby. Two of the men got into the vehicle, threatened the victim, took his keys and demanded that he handed over money. The driver tried to call for help over the radio system but one of the offenders smashed it. The driver then managed to get out of the vehicle and run away while the offenders fled towards Russell Street with a small sum of money.
The first offender is described as being a mixed race male of medium build with short dark hair. He was wearing a black jacket and carried a screwdriver. The second offender – who sat in the front passenger seat, demanded money and smashed the radio - was a short black male, with a skinny build and wearing a black hooded jacket. The third man – who didn’t enter the taxi - was also a black man.
