Another warning’s going out about people impersonating Gardaí after men called to houses in Carlow and Kilkenny today stealing a substantial amount of cash at one local home.
The latest alert was issued after reports initially of three men calling to the homes of elderly people in Carlow town on Friday morning.
The culprits were travelling in a light coloured Toyota Yaris.
It then emerged that two med who had been driving a Toyota Yaris described as silver in colour called to three houses in Ballyraggett.
They were pretending to be Gardai and claimed to be checking for counterfeit banknotes.
The managed to con one local person out of a substantial amount of money during the first visit in the area.
Gardaí say you should always ask for ID from anyone who calls to your door and genuine people will not be offended if you do.
Anyone with concerns or suspicions about bogus callers is being urged to contact your local Garda station.
