Excerpt:
Two women have been accused of dressing in Islamic robes to hassle people for money in an area of the city with a large Muslim community.
The women, who locals believe to be Eastern European, possibly Romanian, have been spotted wearing niqabs in the Highfields area of the city over the past two weeks.
They have been approaching people asking for money, saying they are penniless and need the cash for essentials such as nappies.
