Police say they've charged 17 people for begging offences in Norwich city centre.

The action follows complaints from members of the public and business owners.

Norfolk Police, external says over the last four weeks officers have spoken to people on 150 occasions in relation to begging.

In future a formal warning will be issued to those found begging while persistent offenders will be arrested and face being summonsed to court where they will receive a fine.    

Norfolk Police says it found the majority of people begging were not homeless and had access to accommodation. Many were also in receipt of benefits.

Ch Insp Nick Paling added: “Beggars can earn anything between £50 and £150 on the streets but what many people do not realise is that this money is spent to fund their addictions to alcohol and drugs."

Shoppers are being urged to donate to one of the city's charities rather than giving money to beggars.
