Five arrested in connection with attack on taxi driver

Five people have been picked up in dawn raids in Coventry this morning in connection with the attempted murder of a taxi driver in Berkshire.



Police raided seven addresses in Foleshill, Binley, Radford and Holbrooks in the early hours.

The five – who are aged between 26 and 35 – have been taken down to a Thames Valley police station for questioning.

They’re all being held over an incident last September where a gunman opened fire on a taxi driver after he pulled up on his driveway.

He was shot three times in the chest, and spent two days in hospital.

Police in Reading also arrested a man at the same time this morning.
