Police are issuing a warning to residents in Dewsbury to be vigilant following reports of fraudulent charity collectors in the area.
Officers were called at around 9am yesterday morning, 1 November, to reports of two female suspects who approached a house on Thornhill Street, in Savile Town, asking for donations.
They were described as two Asian women who were asking for money for a boy who is suffering from cancer in Pakistan.

Two women have been arrested in connection with this incident and enquiries are ongoing.
