We are appealing for witnesses after a taxi driver was robbed at knifepoint.

At around 1.30am on Monday 22 October, the driver collected three men from Wickham Road in Fareham before driving them to Grange Road in Hedge End.

After exiting the car at around 1.50am, one of the men threatened the driver with a knife and demanded money. A quantity of cash was then stolen.

The man with the knife was described as white, aged in his 30s, and wearing a red baseball cap, blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a black jacket.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who saw a man matching this description with two other men on Wickham Road in Fareham, or Grange Road in Hedge End, or nearby these areas around the times stated.

In addition, we would like to speak to anyone who may have been driving through these areas at these times and may have caught something on dashcam.
