Accommodation fraud under investigation

Gardaí are investigating an incident of accommodation fraud reported in the Ballina area last Monday week. It is understood that the injured party saw accommodation advertised on a website, which turned out to be a scam, in which around €3,500 was lost.

Also under investigation in the last week is the theft in Ballingarry of a mobile battery used for powering an electric fence. This incident happened between Tuesday and Thursday week.

The Divisional Drugs Unit meanwhile seized around €400 worth of cannabis in a search in the Borrisokane area last Thursday week. A file has been sent to the DPP.
