On Monday 11th August at 2:53pm a London black cab was parked on Bishops Avenue, SW6. 2 males have broken into this cab by smashing a window and have stolen a handbag plus other items. This was not reported to police by the victim but our intrepid neighbourhood officers have made a series of enquiries since, utilising intelligence that was passed to us, resulting in 2 arrests. Sadly the missing bit of the jigsaw to allow us to charge these 2 is a victim statement. Without that we can’t send these suspects to court to face justice.
The driver of the cab, our victim, is a white male, in his 30s or 40s and of stocky build. He had possibly parked his cab on Bishops Ave to visit the nearby park with his two children who were with him, a boy & girl under the age of 10. Unfortunately we do not have know the registration number of the cab.
Is this cabbie you? Do you know a fellow cabbie who this could be? Do you have a relative/friend who this could be? And even, if you use black cab can you mention this to the driver to see if he/she knows who it could be please?
As you can probably tell we’re really keen to speak with the victim so these suspected thieves, who are currently on bail, can be charged and face court.
If you can help, please call Sergeant Finbar King on 0208 246 2453. As always, thank you for your support.
