Midland Detectives investigating the Aggravated Robbery of a taxi driver in Opperman Place,
Middle Swan at about 3.00am this morning (Sunday 8 May 2011) have released images of
the persons of interest driving the taxi.
The 44 year old taxi driver was attending to a job at a house in that street when two men
approached his taxi which was parked in the driveway, near the road and asked if he could
take them somewhere. When he told them he was already on a job, one of the men punched
him in the side of the head, knocking him unconscious. One of the men took his car keys
from his pocket and both men drove off in the taxi.
The taxi was abandoned a short time after in Kurrden Way, Swan View.
The driver was treated in hospital and later discharged. He was treated for a head wound.
Police would like any person who may have any information as to the identity of the men in
the photos or who may have any information on this cowardly and viscous Aggravated
Robbery to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
