You’ve got to laugh at the bare-faced cheek of the latest scam doing the rounds in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, according to police.

Apparently he’s got away with cash of up to £30, promising to return, and offering a curry at a restaurant he’s claims he is linked with.

If someone of Asian appearance wearing a beanie hat asks you for cash - just say no!
