Beggars in Nottingham boast they are pocketing up to £700 a week
One beggar makes so much he throws away food he doesn't want
At least of the beggars around the city centre are said to not be homeless
Illegal street beggars in one UK city are earning up to £36,000 a year, police have revealed.

Scroungers in Nottingham boast they are pocketing up to £700 a week and are even spending some nights sleeping in hotels.

One beggar is making so much cash he throws away food he doesn’t want and pays to get around the city by taxi.

Shockingly, at least eight of the beggars around the East Midlands city are not even homeless as they callously cash-in from kind-hearted shoppers.

A homeless charity that works in Nottingham has said that not all beggars on the city streets earn big money (picture posed by model)
Some of them have started posing as Big Issue sellers as they rake in the equivalent £20 an hour.

Nottinghamshire Police yesterday warned unsuspecting Christmas shoppers and office workers in the city to be aware of illegal beggars.

Sergeant Huw Jones said: 'One of the men boasts frequently about how much money he makes on a daily basis.

'This usually adds up to a total of between £600 to £700 per week.
