FAKE charity collectors have been reported as working in Harrogate.
North Yorkshire Police said collectors have claimed to be working on behalf of The Children’s Trust in the Albany Avenue area, but they had failed to produce any identification when they were asked.
A police spokesman said all legitimate charity workers should have identification and are instructed to show it when asked, and urged anyone who encounters fraudulent collectors to contact Andy Fox at Trading Standards on 03454 040506.
