ILLEGAL hawkers are coming out of the woodwork in record numbers, with 1,623 caught last year. This is twice the 881 booked in 2006, said the National Environment Agency (NEA). These offenders range from scantily clad women hawking wine in carparks to middle-aged men selling everything from kitchen utensils to speakers from vans and youth hustling fake DVDs from makeshift stalls.
