Taxi driver tricked out of £140 fare after passengers left a mannequin wearing a hat in his cab and pretended it was their sleeping friend
- The men travelling from Brighton to London carried a mannequin into cab
- Dressed in men's clothes, they told the driver their 'friend' was asleep
- After dropping two men home, he was given the address of the third 'man'
- On arrival, he tried to wake him only to discover he was a mannequin
It was about 2am in the morning and they asked to be taken to London and agreed a fee with the driver.
When they got to London the first one got out then asked for his friends to be dropped off at a second address.
When he got to the second address the guy got out and said "my mate is still asleep, can you take him to his address, please".
When he got there the driver couldn't wake him up to start with, then he realised it was a fully-clothed mannequin wearing a hat.
He was expecting the last passenger to pay the fare so he lost the whole lot. It would have probably been around £140.
