A man is due to appear in court later this month after being found driving a fake taxi.
Gardaí pulled over the car on Bride street in Dublin 8 last night and found the driver and a female passenger.
The car had a fake roof sign and taxi stickers and the man had been disqualified from driving.
The young women had got into the car believing it to be a legitimate taxi.
Gardaí are warning people to be vigilant of bogus operators.
