Taxi driver who picked up two vulnerable people without a licence ordered to pay nearly £1,500
A man who was driving a taxi and picked up two vulnerable people in Aberdare without a licence has been ordered to pay nearly £1,500. Owen Jenkins, 40, of Mount Pleasant Terrace, Mountain Ash was found to be operating as a taxi driver without a licence in Aberdare.
He was found to be illegally plying for hire in and around Aberdare on Saturday October 28, 2023 and the early hours of the Sunday morning by a council licensing officer. The council said he stopped his vehicle to accept a fare with two vulnerable females. A licensing enforcement officer was nearby and approached the vehicle to ask if he could also have a lift. Jenkins agreed to take them to a drop off point for a fee.
During the journey the licensing officer identified himself to Jenkins and left the vehicle with one of the females due to safety concerns. Jenkins then drove off and was then later observed by licensing officers driving through Taf Street, Pontypridd, according to the council.
