Suspected fraudsters have been caught on CCTV leaving a fake charity clothes collection bin outside a parade of shops. The green collection bin, displaying a poster that reads: "We love to recycle clothes and shoes", was dropped off outside Cleeve Wood Road shops in Bristol. CCTV footage shows a white van pulling up opposite the row of shops just after 7.40am, and two men in hi-viz jackets depositing the charity bin, before then driving off. It is the second such collection bin to have appeared in Bristol with no notice in recent weeks. The charity name on the front of the box, Cheeky Monkey Recycle Co., does not link with any known charity.
