Suffolk Trading Standards has issued a further warning about bags claiming to support the children’s charity Be Child Cancer Aware, which have been found dumped in rural hedges.
June Mummery, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for coastal affairs, communities and public health, said: "These crooks appear to be cashing in on people's kindness.
Suffolk Trading Standards is concerned fraudsters may be using the bags to take advantage of people's generosity by collecting donations intended for charity.
