Elderly Co. Tipperary residents targeted by bogus callers offering Covid-19 tests

Elderly householders in a South Tipperary community have received bogus calls offering Covid-19 tests. 

Clonmel Garda Superintendent William Leahy said several elderly people in the Faugheen area have received calls from someone purporting to be a local councillor advising they will be calling out to them to administer the test in a few days. He said gardai are treating these as bogus calls.

Anyone who receives such a call is asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station at (052) 6122222.
