Police bust fraudsters posing as HK students

Police arrested a group of people who swindled money and cellphones from young women while posing as students from Hong Kong. The police caught nine suspects, all from Anhui province, in a fast-food restaurant. They are accused of committing more than 20 acts of fraud involving hundreds of thousands of yuan in the city. The police say the suspects practiced their fake accents by watching Hong Kong dramas.
