A man and three women have been jailed three years and eight-months by the District Court for street deception.

 

Aged 28 to 40 the culprits were arrested after duping a 66-year-old woman into handing over her cash and valuables for blessing in Yuen Long on September 5.

 

The four were convicted for conspiracy to defraud and sentenced today.

 

Police reminded people to be vigilant against street swindlers.
