Northumbria Police have issued a public appeal to identify two men after they threatened a taxi driver with a knife on Friday.
It was reported that two men got into a taxi outside of Morrisons in Blaydon at around 5pm and asked to be taken to Hyde Park Street in Bensham.
However, when the passengers got to their location, instead of paying, they reportedly threatened the driver with a knife before fleeing the scene. The driver was physically unharmed but left shaken.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing and we have already carried out a range of enquiries to trace the males, including a review of CCTV.
đŸ“² The men, or anyone who thinks they have information is asked to get in touch by calling 101 or using the ‘Tell us Something’ page on the Northumbria Police website quoting log NP-20230929-0798.
