Con man at large targeting elderly people

A con man posing as a garda to scam elderly people out of money in homes across Cork is thought to be spending several days in the county at a time, before moving on to another county to target other victims, writes Ann Murphy.

The man, believed to be from the Limerick area, is targeting elderly people in counties including Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, Kilkenny, Galway and Sligo.
