Four arrested for charity scam

Four deaf men and women from the mainland have been jailed for two weeks by the Kowloon City Magistrate for illegally fund raising on the streets.

Last month the four arrested aged 17 to 26 years, loitered on the Yau Ma Tei streets trying to gather donations for their fake charity. They held a sign with a slogan “Care for the disabled, make a kind-hearted donation” reports the RTHK.

Three students, who were passersby, called the police when they saw the arrested use the donations to buy food at a noodle shop.
