A Derbyshire Constabulary spokesperson said: "In order to progress the investigation police are appealing for witnesses who have had a man, with a bucket, asking for money at their home address.

"Police would like to hear from anyone he has asked for money and anyone who has given him money having been told it is for a charitable cause."
