Local residents have contacted the Ross Gazette warning of two women who are claiming to raise money for St Michael’s Hospice. The Hospice have confirmed that their charity boxes are fake, and they are not raising money on behalf of them.

The women have been seen dressed as Father Christmas and singing carols to raise money.

They do not have sealed charity containers, and they have been reported to St Michael’s Hospice.

The Ross Gazette has contacted the police for further information.
