Jake Sutherland, of Chaddesden, and Lizzie Smith will be sentenced next month
A couple stole money from a taxi driver before driving his cab at 50mph through Nottingham city centre. A trial heard how Lizzie Smith and Jake Sutherland, who is from Derby, attacked the victim after demanding he handed over his cash.
The prosecutor said: “On any version of events it was Ms Smith who acted first in this robbery and Sutherland perfectly willingly joined the action. They said that they needed help and asked if he would give them a ride into the city centre and he agreed. Mr Gimson said: “Things changed immediately and she demanded that the victim hand over his cash. He told her he didn’t have any on him and she said ‘I know you have cash, don’t lie to me’ and she climbed out from the passenger seat and moved to the driver’s seat, grabbed the taxis steering wheel and attempted to take control of the taxi but she was unable to take the vehicle out of 'park' and put it into 'drive'.
“This must have been traumatising. Smith drove the vehicle onto Upper Parliament Street and through a red light. The taxi was being driven at speeds of 50mph in a 20mph limit.
