Union Cab driver victim in robbery

After a nearly identical armed robbery of a Badger Cab driver on Allied Drive Thursday, a Union Cab driver was the victim in a possible armed robbery on Allied Drive early Sunday morning, according to a police statement. 

 

 

 

The driver, 47, was in the 2300 block area of Allied Drive after dropping off a fare, when the suspect entered the cab and asked the driver to pull behind a nearby building to pick up his bag.  

 

 

 

According to the police statement, though the cab driver reported he did not see a weapon and was not injured, once the driver stopped, the suspect placed something against the cab driver's back and told him he was being robbed.
