A TAXI provider has urged customers to be vigilant after witnessing a car attempting to act as a cab.

The Premier Group North Wales, who cover Bangor and South Anglesey, asked customers to be "careful" and shared the experience of one of their drivers.

They posted a public warning on social media: "Today (January 10) one of our drivers witnessed this vehicle and driver attempting to act as a taxi and take passengers from Asda.

"To clarify what was going on, we spoke to a member of public who was phoning us for a taxi when approached by this male. She confirmed he offered to take her.

"The female member of public was wise enough to note that the vehicle had no taxi markings or vehicle licence plates and refused.

"Please be careful when waiting for a taxi. If there is any doubt do not travel take a picture if you can of the vehicle and driver.

"Most companies and owner drivers in Bangor are genuine and I'm sure not one of the genuine operators / drivers would have any issue with you requesting information to ensure you are getting in a licensed taxi."

The company confirmed to the Chronicle that they intend to report the incident to North Wales Police and are making efforts to contact Gwenan Mai Roberts, licensing manager at Gwynedd Council.
