An elderly woman in South Tipp has been conned out of a considerable sum of money.

She was approached at her home on the outskirts of Clonmel by people claiming to be tradesmen.

They carried out work at the house before bringing the woman to the bank to withdraw money to pay them.

However Superintendent Willie Leahy of Clonmel Garda Station says the price charged was excessive.
