Householder ‘duped out of €4k by four-man gang’

A middle-aged man living near University College Cork was approached by four men who said they would clean his chutes for €50 but they got €4,250 by deception on repeated visits by telling him his facia and soffit would have to be replaced.

That was the allegation in the case investigated by Detective Sergeant Tim Murphy and Detective Garda David Hickey who arrested and charged two men in Killarney today and charged them in relation to the case.
