Character ‘unblemished’ after woman cleared of €27k online cheque scam

A mother of five was cleared by a jury for her role in an internet scam relating to counterfeit cheques totalling €27,000.

At Ennis Circuit Court, a jury took 90 minutes to reach a unanimous verdict on nine charges faced by Heidi Lammiman, aged 48, of Kilduff, Tulla, Co Clare, concerning the fraud.

Judge Gerald Keyes then told Ms Lamminan that she could leave court “with your character unblemished”.
