Fake homeless man arrested for begging in Nuneaton
A persistent beggar will face going to court after being caught asking for cash in Nuneaton town centre after being warned to stop.
The man, who has not been identified, had been given a Community Protection Notice (CPN) by cops for begging.
But on Thursday, November 22, police caught the man, who is not homeless, begging again.
He was taken to Nuneaton Police Station and was interviewed for breaching his CPN.
A spokesperson for Nuneaton Safer Neighbourhood Team explained: "A file will now compiled and he will be summoned for court for begging, breach of his CPN and we will attach a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) which will contain certain conditions."
I somehow doubt this is a genuine report and intended more as a warning to potential beggars.
