An appeal has been launched to find a Preston taxi driver who could be a witness in a police investigation.

A man used a taxi to travel from Preston city centre to an address in White Moss Close, Whitestake, in the early hours of Saturday morning (December 3).

Detectives on Wednesday (December 7) launched an appeal to trace the taxi driver who may be a witness in a police investigation.

Officers also released a CCTV image of the vehicle in the hopes the driver would recognise their car.
