Residents in the Penland Road area of Haywards Heath received unwelcome visitors last Saturday afternoon. A group of 'Bosnian refugees', some with babies, have |
been knocking on doors begging for money. A resident of Blunts Wood Road said "She handed me a grubby bit of paper with 'I'm a refugee; I've no food and no money' written on it and of | course I gave her some money. But a friend later saw the refugees get into a large car in Sainsburys car park and one of the other women had on an expensive leather coat; so it is obviously a scam". |
