Lisson Grove “advice” from Met Police
All,
I am writing in relation to the incidents that have been taking place in the Lissons Grove area such as making off without payment, thefts, robberies and criminal damage to vehicles. I am requesting your assistance in sending out messages to drivers and also in trying to gather information/intelligence. Can you please encourage drivers to report all suspected crimes or crime related incidents to police. I have been told that there may be information/intelligence on social media which has not been passed to the police and would request that any information/intelligence that is on your social media sites is passed to police with details of who has supplied it. This will help us build up a picture of what is happening, where and when it is taking place and those that are involved. It could also be the vital bit of evidence that might help solve a crime.
We have been carrying out overt and covert patrols in the area and are also working with the local SaferNeighbourhoods Team to provide crime prevention advice to drivers. Again I would request your assistance in raising awareness so that drivers understand the key risks such as carrying money in the cab, leaving mobile phones or other property on show and leaving the cab. Some crime prevention measures that can be taken include refusing a job if you feel unsafe, keep doors and lockable screens shut, try not to leave the cab, if you feel something is not right drive away and contact police to report crimes or crime related incidents.
Please let me know if you have any queries and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Taxi Leaks Extra Bit : Question From Tony Casey
Are you aware of the Lisson Green problem getting any better?
The local neighbourhood policing boss for Church Street, keeps saying he is expecting some arrests by warrant.
Sgt Scott Barnard Marshall also says in the same breath that as I’m not a victim, he is unable to give specific info to me.
We in the London Taxi Community, are all victims of this violent gang who have now expanded to new robbery areas, such as the feed to Paddington Station Rank on harrow road.
The gang are picking off drivers in queue, they are also using decoy women to lure Cabbies to drive to frampton street, where gang members are waiting to attack and rob them.
As far as I am concerned no one has been charged or convicted of any robbery offence in at least the last 2 years
Would that be correct? ....they keep refering to the LTDA which in itself is a complete joke.
Worst of all, the advice given about phoning the police is also a joke. We have documented evidence from drivers who have been attacked which states after unacceptable 20 minutes waiting to speak to a police operator, they are told “sorry, there’s no units in the area to attend”
Well done Sadiq !!!!! Not only have you gridlocked most of London, you’ve filled it full of no go areas.

I may be dumb but where are we supposed to carry our money if not I the cab. Does he want us to carry it in the boot and then jump out to get it so we can give the customer the change. Very dumb comment.
He just saying carry a smaller float of change in the cab and keep it accumulates amount in an office or back home. Or lock it away private. Don't act stupid.
