Witness stunned by babies in taxi boot

THE mini-bus into which the babies were loaded

A SHOCKED member of the public said two women travelling in a mini bus allowed their taxi driver to drive with their two babies in the boot - still in their pram.

Yesterday morning a man said two women with three babies boarded a mini bus outside Limehurst Primary School, Limeside. He said two babies were in a double pram and the other in a single.

He explained: “The taxi driver folded up the single pram and put it into the back of the mini-bus, and one of the women took the baby into the bus with her.

“Then the driver lifted the double pram, with the babies still in it, into the boot, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He drove the mini-bus and I saw the babies inside. I’m not sure who disgusted me more, the driver or the mum.”

A picture of the mini-bus was uploaded to social media, where it was seen by Oldham Council which said it would investigate immediately. The council has asked both the driver and the witness to its offices
