Naas school principal issues warning after pensioner is robbed in Naas

The principal of a Naas secondary school is appealing for the public to ignore a scam that resulted in the robbery of an elderly woman earlier this week.

An 82- year-old woman is understood to have been approached at her home by a girl who claimed she was from Piper's Hill school and was raising money for the needy in Africa.

She requested a cup of tea and water. While the pensioner was going to get biscuits, it is understood that she stole €200 from her purse.

Meanwhile, Principal of Piper's Hill, Colm O'Connor, raised an appeal on social media warning people that 'Piper's Hill College is not fundraising at this time as it is the end of the school term.'

He called on people to decline anyone purporting to be raising funds from the school and to contact Piper's Hill on 045/ 897885.
