AN IW taxi company has begun installing CCTV cameras in its vehicles.
The move by Newport-based Solo follows the recent death in Cowes of taxi driver Paul Rosenberg together with a growing number of crimes against taxi drivers.
"People do not realise how much trouble we have to deal with," said Solo taxis owner Steve Sharp.
"People running off without paying costs us hundreds of pounds each year and then there's the hassle that drivers are subject to on a weekly basis."
