A West Sussex taxi driver was hijacked by a knife-wielding robber who stole his car and cash.

The thief opened the cab driver's door, brandished a knife and ordered him out of the vehicle, then drove off.

The robbery took place in Greenfields at Wick, Littlehampton, on Sunday at 4am.

The Arun Taxis vehicle was recovered an hour later by police in Phoenix Close, Wick.

The offender was 5ft 10in, of medium build, in his early 20s and wore a dark-coloured sweatshirt, blue jeans and a dark baseball cap.
