A west Auckland beggar who says he makes up to $150 a day claims a "begging syndicate" aggressively targets shoppers.
Conrad is one of a number of beggars in Henderson's Lincoln North Plaza. Some of the other beggars - shoppers complain - are aggressive and allegedly work as part of a begging "syndicate".
Conrad, who did not want to give a surname, says he is one of at least six beggars who consider the plaza "their spot". He claims he earns between $100 and $150 a day begging at the mall.

He says he is not aggressive when he begs. "I just ask," he said.
