Halifax police add two cases to list of sexual assaults inside taxis
HALIFAX — Police in Halifax have released updated information about a string of alleged sexual assaults by cab drivers, adding two incidents to the list.
Earlier this week, police said 12 remarkably similar cases of sexual assaults involving taxi drivers had occurred over the past four years.
But in a news release Thursday, investigators say they have determined there are two additional incidents to add to the list — one in 2012 and another in 2015 — bringing the total number to 14.
Police say charges have been laid in five cases, five were closed due to lack of solvability, another was closed at the request of the victim, and the remaining three are currently under investigation.
