Fraudulent charity collectors in Dewsbury

    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.

    There have also been other reports of similar incidents in the Dewsbury area over the past couple of weeks.

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