Concerns About Suspected Organised Begging in Bridgnorth

Dear Resident,

We’ve received reports of women (2 have been identified) in Bridgnorth town who appear to be posing as homeless. These individuals often speak very little English or communicate in broken English, and are seen sitting or standing in public areas begging for money.

It is believed that these women may be part of an organised operation, with sightings suggesting they are being dropped off in the town by a vehicle and later collected. This behaviour is concerning and may be linked to exploitation or human trafficking.

We are actively investigating these reports and working with partner agencies to ensure vulnerable individuals are safeguarded and that any criminal activity is addressed appropriately.

We ask residents to:

Please report any concerns via: 📞 101 (non-emergency) 🌐 www.westmercia.police.uk

Your vigilance helps us keep Bridgnorth safe and protect those who may be at risk.

Kind regards

PC LOFTUS
