Israeli art scam operating in Christchurch
Relevant offers
Art lovers are being warned not to be fooled by two Israeli tourists selling watercolours door-to-door in Christchurch for $250.
The paintings are made in China and available via the internet for a fraction of this price, police warn.
Lyttelton detective Michael Ford said the man and woman arrived in the country on tourist visas on February 26 and had been driving a Toyota Prius licence plate YF4903 and knocking on doors on Mt Pleasant’s Major Hornbrook Drive.
Ford said immigration officials were also keen to find the couple as they were breaching the conditions of their tourist visa.
Any information to Detective Ford on 03 378 0204.
