An Offaly resident's garden was left in a state after rogue traders called to their door on Wednesday.

The resident paid money for gardening but the men left the garden in a mess with the job half done.
Gardaí have been notified and people are being warned not t engage with such callers.
These men were driving a Vauxhall.
In the weeks prior to this incident, a 131-CW Vauxhall Vivario van had been spotted acting suspiciously in the area.
