Limo hired by thief in US used as base from which to sell stolen goods

May 6, 2010 By Dez Rowley

Police arrested man in the US who hired a limo and left stolen weapons onboard

A thief in Dover, USA, hired a chauffeur driven limo so he could drive around the neighbourhood selling his stolen goods.

Police were alerted by the limo driver after the man left the limousine with various stolen items onboard. The man, named by police as Jason Lowell Greenberg, was picked up by the authorities at Dover train station after the tip-off from the chauffer.

Eagle Limousines, who provided the chauffeur driven limo, say they received the booking earlier that night. The car was then sent to the requested location to pick up the customer, Greenberg, who proceeded to load stolen items including a TV, shotguns, and rifles into the limo.

Greenberg then asked the chauffeur to drive him around the area while he attempted to sell the items. He was then taken to the limo company’s base where a second chauffeur agreed to buy the TV. The other items were then moved to another limo, and Greenberg asked to be driven to the train station.

Once at the station, Greenberg left the limo with the items still onboard. It was at this point that the chauffeur called the police.

Greenberg was arrested and the investigation is ongoing. Early reports indicate that the items were probably taken during two burglaries which took place earlier that day.

New York limo vandalised in road rage attack

Road rage attack sees limo damaged in New York street

A limo travelling through New York City over the weekend had its windscreen smashed in after an irate motorcyclist sought revenge after the limousine clipped his bike and didn’t stop.

The cyclist became enraged after the limo chauffeur knocked his bike as the two vehicles travelled along 6th Avenue in New York. The motorcyclist was heard to say, “He hit me and kept going. I’m sick of this.”

When the limo came to a halt at a set of traffic lights the cyclist jumped off his bike, and sprinted to the limousine. At this point he is reported to have leaped on to the bonnet of the limo where he started pounding at the windscreen with his bare hands, smashing the glass.

Still incensed, the cyclist then turned his attention to the chauffeur directly. He tore at the half-open window on the driver’s side of the limo, shattering the glass, then grabbed the chauffeur inside the limo, ripping his shirt.

A group of fellow motorcyclists then descended on the scene, convincing the angry motorcycle rider to calm down.

The police were called and even though the chauffeur didn’t want to press charges, the cyclist was arrested.

Speaking after the altercation the limo chauffeur, who was on route to pick up a client at the time of the incident, said, “I thought I was a dead man.”

Limo chauffeur calls police after Naomi Campbell turns violent

Naomi Campbell's chaffeur claims she gave him a black eye

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is currently in hiding after her limo chauffeur accused her of slapping and punching him yesterday.

Naomi’s chauffeur alleges that the 39-year-old model attacked him whilst he was driving through the streets of New York yesterday afternoon. The London born supermodel was travelling in the back of the black Cadillac Escalade limo when she became angry and hit out at the chauffeur.

The chauffeur then pulled the limo off the road and called the police. It was at this point that Ms Campbell escaped from the vehicle and made off on foot.

It is not known exactly what triggered the violent outburst, although there are claims that the model flew into a rage as she believes that the driver, who was previously employed by her boyfriend Vlad Doronin, helped cover up Doronin’s indiscretions whilst in his employment.

A spokesperson for Ms Campbell says: “Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to this story than meets the eye.”

The chauffeur is not pressing charges so it’s unlikely that the case will be taken any further. However the supermodel has form when it comes to violent episodes. Three years ago she pleaded guilty to assaulting her maid, and also admitted abusive behaviour towards the police at Heathrow Airport after she lost her temper when she discovered her luggage had been lost.

Lily Allen poses as limo chauffeur for new video

Lily dresses up as a limousine driver for new music video

Lily Allen has been known to sport some interesting get-ups in her time but in the video for her new single, Who’d Have Known, Lily takes on the guise of a limo chauffeur. However things take a distinctly odd turn as the disguised Lily kidnaps an Elton John lookalike and holds him captive in her house.

It’s fair to say that Lily and Elton are not the best of friends and have quarrelled publically in the past. The pair were joint hosts at last year’s G Q Men of The Year Awards and the ageing singer was none too impressed by Lily’s drinking. The Fear singer happily knocked back glass after glass of free champagne, much to the annoyance of Elt who is famously a teetotaller after battling addictions to drugs and drink in the early days of his career.

After Elton expressed concern when Lily tucked into yet another glass of champers she told him in no uncertain terms to “f*** off” Adding insult to injury by saying “I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me.”

Given the pair’s history, it’s no surprise the younger singer chose Elton as her victim in the new video. Lily poses as a sexy limo chauffeur in the music video in order to capture the Elton lookalike. After bounding and gagging him in her house she then forces the fake Elton to make a phone call admitting that he’s fallen in love with her. The real Elton has yet to respond to the news of the new video in which he is indirectly featured, but something tells us he won’t see the funny side of Lily’s antics!

limo driver caught dodging toll booth charges

A limo chauffeur from New Jersey in the US, managed to dodge toil booth charges a staggering 2,890 times racking up a hefty bill of $91,600 in unpaid charges and legal costs. However Police finally caught up with the wayward chauffeur in August of this year after tracking him down using CCTV footage.

The 32-year-old driver, Sari Ahmet, eventually handed himself over to Police after he realised they were on to him. Detectives made a phone call to the limo chauffeur and he admitted that the game was up and was arrested by police.

Dodging toll charges definitely turned out to be a false economy for this driver. Ahmet is now facing a bill of $3,800 in unpaid tolls and a further $70,000 in legal costs and fines. A police official said “People think they are going to save a few dollars cheating on tolls, but in the end they owe much more and possibly end up with a criminal records,”

CCTV footage helped capture the getaway limo driver as he was caught on film driving through the toll booths in his Lincoln Town Car on a variety of different occasions at a range of different toll booths. Over a year an estimated 700 million pass through one of the busiest tolls booths in the area, however drivers who choose to dodge the payment are costing the system £13.6 million a year which is why police are continuing to crack down on this kind of crime.

US limo chauffeur left to clear up after drunken baseball star’s antics

baseball star Sean West in trouble with limo chauffeur

A US limo hire chauffeur from Philadelphia is furious after one of the biggest rising stars of baseball, Marlin’s pitcher Sean West, fled from his luxury limo after one of the many women he was escorting threw up in the back of his stretch. Unfortunately for the baseball player, the limo chauffeur known as Big Penny, is a fearsome man and he’s none too pleased with him.

According to Big Penny the Marlin’s player from Miami sought refuge in the back of his limo after starting a fight at popular Philadelphia nightspot, G Lounge. He managed to run the gauntlet through the group of Philadelphia supporters he’s rubbed up the wrong way and hopped into the back of Big Penny’s waiting limo. Except he didn’t come alone. The baseball star obviously fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man and dragged along not one, not two, but 5 ladies for company.

However it seems his company may have been his downfall as one of the ladies proceeded to vomit all over the back of the expensive limousine. Big Penny stopped the limo to throw the party out after this but smooth talking Sean West managed to persuade the chauffeur against this, assuring him he had “a lot of money” and would compensate him for the mess.

Although once they arrived back at their hotel West did his second disappearing act of the night and went inside the hotel to get some towels and products to help clear up the mess, and never returned.

A word of warning for Sean West, avoid Philadelphia for a while, Big Penny is on the rampage.
