Text messaging cabbies fight crime

In yet another crime prevention scheme, The Bromley Police Station in south-east London has just launched a new text alert system for cab drivers, giving them descriptions of suspects or getaway vehicles, soon after the crime.

"The scheme involving the police and council, in Bromley, south-east London, and the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA), will also allow drivers to report any conversations they overhear in their vehicles regarding criminal activity". [BBC]
