The PSNI say illegal taxis are sometimes uninsured without normal safety checks on drivers

Police in Derry say they have seized a number of vehicles as part of an operation "targeting illegal taxis operating in the city".

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Foyleside and The Moor Neighbourhood officers, working closely with Driver & Vehicle Agency transport enforcement colleagues, made the seizures during an operation in the city between 26th-28th June. Sergeant Stewart said: “Illegal taxis present a risk to anyone who uses them as, in some instances, they are uninsured and the safety checks that are carried out on drivers are not completed.

“If you’re using a taxi, there are measures you can take to protect yourself including using reputable firms, checking the driver is displaying their photo ID and that the vehicle is displaying current taxi licence plates."
