Charity workers held for theft

Two dishonest volunteers collecting money for the Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy (WOSP) - an annual charity fund raising event - have been detained by Lodz police. The two women, a 20-year-old and a 15-year-old, were collecting money in two supermarkets in Lodz on Sunday. When their boxes were full, they took the money, threw away the boxes, and then claimed they had been robbed. A 22-year-old man, who also claimed he had been robbed, was arrested in Jastrzebie Zdroj.
