Date published: 16 July 2015
TWO men aged 30 and 31 have been arrested after two taxi drivers were assaulted and a minicab stolen in Rochdale.
At around 1.30am yesterday, two men got a taxi from Town Taxis in Rochdale and were taken to Belfield Road.
When they arrived the men threatened the driver with knives before stealing cash and a mobile. Half an hour later, the men carried out a repeat attack on another cabbie — this time forcing him out and stealing the vehicle, later found in Oldham.
