• Police across the country have been warning the public about people pretending to play violins to solicit donations.
• After getting a tip from a concerned viewer, News Channel 3 found a man appearing to play violin outside the Target store.
• As he performed, he stood next to a sign that read, “DAD WITH 3 KIDS PLEASE HELP FOR FOOD AND RENT.”
