An elderly woman has been targetted twice by a taxi driver in the UK, who robbed her and left her badly injured.
Police said that a man named Yousef Mohamed from Cardiff followed the woman for the first time on November 20, 2022, after she drove home from Les Croupiers in Capital Retail Park.
He then robbed her after she arrived at her driveway in Highlight Lane, Barry.
As per Wales Online, Mohamed stole £850 in cash, her mobile phone, digital camera, and several makeup items.
During the second attack which took place on January 8, 2023, Mohamed reportedly returned to the house of the woman and “grabbed her handbag containing a phone, car keys, bank cards, and various other items”.
He then dragged her on the floor, resulting in the woman being “significantly injured”.
Official reports state that she had injuries to her head, cuts on the face, and a broken thumb.
The man then fled in his taxi, “with a large amount” of cash, as per South Wales Police spokesperson.
Mohamed then pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and one of wounding during a sentence that was given at Cardiff Crown Court.
He has been jailed for four years and eight months by the court. A 10-year restraining order has also been placed against him.

Jailed for four years ??? Pathetic, a menace to society and a lenient sentence is an understatement, he could have killed the woman. Society needs to curb this by sentencing commensurate to the crime of violence which may result in death or life changing injury. What’s wrong with this society, sentences like this should be minimum ten years.
