Garda Mary Gardiner is appealing to the public if they were in the area at the time or if bogus tradesmen called to their home to contact Tralee Garda station.

Garda Mary Gardiner says if the public is unsure of a tradesman, then can ask them to write their details on cards displaying the Garda crest.
