BOGUS charity workers are being hunted by police after selling false raffle tickets in aid of a children's hospice.
Shoppers were approached by two women in Yarm High Street last weekend claiming to be raising cash for Zoe's Place in Normanby, Middlesbrough.
One woman was so shocked by their aggressive selling techniques she contacted the hospice, which cares for babies and children with life-limiting illnesses.
She told carers how the women claimed to work for Rainbow Promotions on behalf of the hospice. But when the hospice researched the company, it found no evidence of them. Anyone with information about the raffle tickets scam is asked to contact police on (01642) 302626.
