😱 SHOCKING MOMENT CAUGHT ON CCTV: A calculating FAKE TAXI predator was prowling Newcastle city centre at night, hunting for lone, vulnerable women.
51-year-old Kuldip Chahal donned a lanyard to look official, parked his white Volkswagen Golf nearby, and lurked for hours on December 20. When he spotted a young woman in her 20s, drunk and separated from her friends, sitting on the pavement waiting for a ride, he moved in.
Footage shows him repeatedly guiding and physically directing her through crowded streets for around 10 minutes before bundling her into his car.
Police grew suspicious, swooped in, and blocked the vehicle just as he was about to drive away with her. The terrified victim confirmed he was a total stranger.
At Newcastle Crown Court today, Chahal was jailed for seven years (plus a three-year extended licence) after being convicted of kidnap. He even claimed he was just looking for other drivers with an interest in cars.
The judge told him: “You were out to target a drunk girl and you found one.”
A lifelong sexual harm prevention order now bans him from approaching intoxicated women or having any females in his car.
Ladies, never, EVER get into an unlicensed taxi. This nightmare could happen to anyone. Share to warn others.
