Man convicted of renting same apartment to 12 different tenants

A man who defrauded 12 potential tenants of almost €30,000 in a South Dublin apartment scam has today been given a three-year sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Joseph O'Connor (aged 48) of Decies Road, Ballyfermot, also used forged bank drafts and a forged driving license to buy second-hand vehicles before selling them on to car traders.
