Longford gardaí arrest bogus taxi operator
Longford Gardaí arrested a bogus taxi driver this week.
As part of a joint operation alongside the NTA (National Transport Authority), gardaí stopped a car in Longford.
They found that the driver was acting as a taxi without the proper licence or insurance.
The driver of the vehicle is now facing court proceedings and according to the NTA website, a possible fine of up to up to €5,000.
The bogus taxi driver in Longford is not the first to come to the attention of Gardaí and the NTA.
Amonth ago, also in the midlands, two vehicles and drivers were found to be operating as taxis without the proper licences or insurance.
Court is to follow for both motorists.
