A & J Taxis, based in Rhyl, claimed that one of its employees were targeted while driving customers on Rhydwen Drive at about 10pm on Friday, November 10.

Though both the driver and the passengers were said to be uninjured, the vehicle suffered “quite severe damage”.

Luke Packer, owner of A & J Taxis, has appealed for witnesses to the incident, and also contacted North Wales Police.

He said: “On November 10, one of our drivers, was shot at with an air rifle on Rhydwen Drive in Rhyl.

“Passengers were on board the vehicle, and the vehicle has suffered quite severe damage.

“Luckily, both the driver and passengers were OK, but this has obviously led to a very stressful time for the driver, due to being unable to work, and is facing the cost of replacing the parts and repairing the vehicle.

“The police were called to the incident and have been provided with dashcam footage, but so far, there are no updates on the incident."

North Wales Police has been contacted for further comment.

Anyone with information can contact the force on 101.
