Issue Date: 30th August 2021
Gardaí are appealing for information in connection with an incident that occurred on the morning of Friday, 27th August, 2021, in County Cork.
On this date, two males, both wearing face-masks, called to a house at Coolequane, Watergrasshill, County Cork, between 9:30am and 10am.
These males displayed a Garda badge to the occupant of this house, and then proceeded to show him a number of fake 50 Euro notes, and asked if they could see any 50 Euro notes the occupant had in his possession.
The occupant asked the males to leave his property and they subsequently left on foot.
It's believed these men may have been travelling in a small blue car.
Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to this incident to come forward. Gardaí are also appealing to any road users who may have been travelling in the Coolequane area between 9:30am and 10am and who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) to make this footage available to Gardaí.
Gardaí are also appealing to any persons that may have been victim to a similar incident to report this to Gardaí.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Fermoy Garda Station on 025 82100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
