Solicitor trouble in Pacific Grove

Pacific Grove police officers believe a group of fake solicitors made their way through town.

On Wednesday, after someone complained, police spoke with one of the solicitors who claimed to be collecting money for “Carepackagecampaign.org.”

Police said they researched the organization and found reports and warnings that the campaign is fake.

Police want residents to be careful when dealing with solicitors, and to always request to see their permits.
