A taxi driver had a knife put to his throat and was told 'give me everything or I will kill you'. Andrew Smith, 35, has been jailed for three years and seven months after he subjected the taxi driver to the 'terrifying' ordeal.
Manchester Crown Court heard that just before midnight on May 16 last year, the driver was called to a job in Altrincham. Two men, one of which was Smith, got in and asked to be taken to a property not too far away, prosecutor Brian Williams said.
After arriving, the pair got back in and said they wanted to go back to the location where they were picked up originally. The other man got out during the journey, leaving Smith alone with the driver.
