First homeless person arrested in Hull in new ‘yellow card’ crackdown

‘A crackdown on begging in Hull has resulted in its first arrest of a beggar, with others told to accept offers of help or expect a spell behind bars.

Officers have started issuing “yellow cards” to those they catch begging in the Avenues, Beverley Road and Spring Bank.

Lee Todd, 27, of no fixed address, has became the first person to fall foul of Humberside Police’s strict “two strikes and you’re out” policy.

He served a day in custody, in lieu of a fine, after pleading guilty at Hull Magistrates’ Court last Friday to begging in a public place.’
