Garda crackdown on bogus callers

GARDAÍ have launched a major initiative in north and east Cork aimed at cracking down on bogus callers who are robbing the elderly and other vulnerable people.

As part of the project, community gardaí from the Cork North Garda Division will conduct visits to elderly people, especially those living on their own.

Gardaí will also target known bogus contractors through increased checkpoints and surveillance operations.
