Man admits to tricking Cork Builders Providers out of €3k worth of power tools

The judge said the defendant could do 140 hours of community service, and that given the defendant’s skills he could be of benefit to the community

Pat Horan, defence solicitor, said the defendant had his own construction firm and could not go to Cork Builders Providers now as a result of the offence he had committed. File picture: Richard Mills

A builder contacted Cork Builders Providers pretending to be a representative of BAM indicating that a representative would collect over €3,000 worth of power tools on account.

Now Dean Lewis of Ballyheeney, Clashmore, County Waterford, has pleaded guilty to acquiring the items by deception.
