Fake warden was handing out €20 fines to members of the public.

A county council was forced to get gardaí to call to the home of a man who was pretending to be a dog warden and handing out €20 fines to members of the public.

The rogue warden was pretending to be an official from South Dublin County Council and was defrauding owners who were letting their dogs off the leash in a public park.
