Illegal Cabs Fi Dead

On the 22nd and 23rd September 2005, the City of London Police, Bishopsgate Division, ran a multi-agency operation targeting unlicensed minicabs operating in the Bishopsgate and Liverpool Street areas. Twenty four arrests were made. Many of the persons arrested had criminal records for offences such as Assaults, Class A drug supply and disqualified driving.A new initiative from the Home Office to help you obtain local licensed minicab numbers is to text the following from your mobile phone: "HOME" to 60835 to receive two licensed minicab numbers and a black cab number in the same area you text from. Texts cost 35 pence plus standard network charges. For more information go to www.tfl.gov.uk and click on the 'Cabs' link
