People are falsely offering to spray a house to protect it against covid-19.
Gardaí are urging homeowners to be careful after individuals offered to disinfect properties in Laois.
It follows reports of three males in a white van in Portlaoise, trying get people to hand over money to get their house sprayed to protect against covid-19.
The Laois/Offaly Crime Prevention Officier is encouraging people to speak to their family and neighbours about these scams and to contact your local garda station with any concerns.
Sergeant Graham Kavanagh says it's also important not to engage with bogus callers:
