OFFICIAL DENIAL
The comprehensive management committee of Beijing's Dongcheng district denied the accusation on Tuesday.
A committee official said on condition of anonymity that the officers took only "waste and garbage" and did not take any coats or quilts.
"The looting accusations are unfair," the official said.
He said the committee has frequently received reports from local residents complaining that vagrants have blocked sidewalks with their bedding.
"We launched a 'clean-up and aid' campaign on Saturday along with the civil affairs department, public security bureau and the environmental protection agency," the official said.
