Phoney nuns back in custody

Police in Giannitsa, northern Greece, Wednesday arrested two women for allegedly posing as nuns and asking for donations for the upkeep of a monastery on the Aegean island of Lesvos.

The two, aged 41 and 49, have been arrested in the past for similar offenses in the Macedonia region, police said.
