SEIZED: The signs that police took from a duo of beggars who were not homeless.
POLICE siezed two signs from a duo of beggars who were not homeless, last Friday.
The beggars declared themselves as homeless on the two signs they had created.
They were sat at traffic islands in the Bradford East area on the evening of July 27.
Both were reported for their offence.
Two messages were written in black ink on separate cardboard signs.
One read: "Homeless! Please can you help me with food, change, [etc.], [G]od bless you and [t]hank-you so much for helping!! xxx"
This follows officers finding a man last week who was begging with a sign, but was not homeless, and was then reported for summons.
