HP Taxi, a prominent taxi rental firm in London, has issued a warning to taxi drivers after a video showing a shocking incident of a man smashing the window of a LEVC TX taxi and stealing cash emerged.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of taxi drivers and their hard-earned cash in the city.

Sharing the alarming video, HP Taxi took to social media to express their concerns. They urged taxi drivers to avoid carrying large sums of cash in cabbie bags and instead advised them to keep the cash on their person. The company also highlighted that taxi drivers have recently become targets for theft and emphasised the need for increased vigilance to ensure their safety.

"We are being targeted, and in this case, followed! So many cabs have been broken into recently, and it seems like these thieves view us as moving cash machines. We must not give them the chance," HP Taxi Company stated in their social media post.
