Gardaí warn of bogus traders targeting elderly and vulnerable
An Garda Síochána is warning of rogue traders that are targeting the elderly and vulnerable in society.
This follows the arrests of three men as part of an ongoing operation targeting suspected rogue traders in Co. Cork.
The three men, all aged in their 20s, were arrested this week and are currently detained at Togher and Bridewell Garda Stations under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
Pressured into paying over €5,000
On September 4, 2020, Gardaí received a report from a lady, aged in her 70s and who lives alone, about work she recently had done by tradesmen at her house in the Bishopstown area of Co. Cork.
