A 51-year-old man has been arrested by the Azad Maidan police for cheating foreign nationals in the city. The accused, Robinhood or Greenwill, used to target foreigners who were unaccompanied by a guide or Indian friend.

An officer said, "Robin used to visit Gateway of India, Marine Drive, the Museum and other areas in south Mumbai where foreigners generally hang out at. He would approach them as a guide and then spin a yarn about being a British national and advocate. He would then tell them he had lost all his documents after he came to India." He would also add a sob story about his ailing father at Bombay Hospital, for whom he needed to pay a certain amount or the doctors will not operate. If the victim gives him money, he would give them his phone number and email ID and disappear.
