GARDAÍ have warned householders in a Cork suburb to be on the lookout for a number of teenage scam artists who are claiming they’re doing a sponsored fast for their school.The warning came after a group of boys, aged around 15 and 16, visited a number of houses in Ballincollig last Saturday.
"We know this happened in the Coolroe area and we checked it out with the schools. There was no sponsored fast going on," said Supt Con Cadogan.
He said anybody raising money for legitimate causes should be in possession of a permit issued by the gardaí.
"These permits are issued by a garda superintendent and have a garda stamp on them", he said.
Anybody with information is asked to contact Ballincollig Garda Station at (021) 4871222.
