City officials laid charges against a London man Friday as a crackdown on illegal cabs continues.
Bryan Leslie Littleton, 28, is charged with advertising and operating a cab without a licence. He faces a potential fine of $730.
The unlicensed private vehicles often advertise via social media and typically pick up passengers in the busy bar strip along Richmond Row.
Bylaw-enforcement manager Orest Katolyk said the bandit cabs pose a threat to the safety of passengers and undercut legitimate cabbies.
