TWO women from Ilford who were part of a scheming 13-strong begging gang have been slapped with a mass ASBO banning them from large chunks of west London.
Mirabela Dumitru, 22, and Lenuta Vasile, 20, are now not allowed anywhere in Westminster or Kensington and Chelsea after being found guilty of persistent begging at a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court.
The well-organised group are believed to have used young children to tug at the heart strings of passing pedestrians across the West End.
