Taxi drivers warned over drug-carrying passengers

TAXI drivers’ representatives have warned drivers in Waterford to be on the alert for passengers using taxis to ferry drugs.

The warning follows two swoops in the city in recent weeks, both of which involved stopping taxis carrying passengers with drugs.

Congratulating the gardaí on the swoops, Dave O’Reilly, a spokesman for the Taxi Drivers Union, said they were alarmed at the development.
