The so-called professional beggars who have access to accommodation, are said to see begging for cash as a "lucrative way of making money"
Professional beggars who aren't homeless are targeting high street shoppers to obtain cash for alcohol and drugs, a new report reveals.
Of 16 active beggars known to agencies in North East Lincolnshire, the "vast majority" have access to accommodation, the document claims.
And in most cases, the money they receive from kind-hearted passersby will be used to fund a
drug - or possibly alcohol - addiction, it adds

Of course its the fact that misguided do-gooders give money to beggars that causes them to exist in the first place.
DO you help pro beggars buy alcohol and drugs?
