βDon't let fraudsters ruin your pilgrimage.β That's the message on leaflets issued by Northamptonshire Police to the Muslim community in the county.
The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five Pillars of Islam. Twenty-five thousand British Muslims make the annual pilgrimage to Mecca each year but for many what is supposed to be a trip of a lifetime can end in tears.
