surely if they are operating without a licence they are obtaining money by deception which is an issue for the police.If they are a propper fund raising group they would be squeaky clean and adhere to the rules.If someone is collecting without a licence/permission its not too far a stretch to assume the money is going diectly into their pockets at the end of the day.

i dont think theres any problem if somone thinks something is amiss and decides to ring the police especially as the same group of people are collecting for multiple charities which in its self is odd unless people are now paid to collect money which seems even more odd
