Irish businesswoman loses 3,000 euro in parking con

A businesswoman in Fermanagh has been conned out of 3,000 euro after two men told her EU rules meant she had to provide two disabled parking bays.

The owner, from Belleek, paid the men, who were in a yellow van posing as a road safety marking company, to paint the bays outside the premises.



Shortly afterwards they were washed away by heavy rain.

The police have warned business owners to be wary of people making similar claims.
