these kind of criminals before.

And I think they're called under various names in different countries, but they're all scams.

And they go to homeowners who wouldn't be aware of their modus operandi.

Yeah.

And they trick them, usually through using, in this particular case, his Irish charm.

So quite a good...

talker and a charmer, you know the drill.

He goes to a door, they go to a door, they knock on the door and they notice some sort of damage on your house.

They tell the homeowner, look, I can fix it for a relatively cheap amount of money.

But once they get in there or up on the roof or wherever they go...

they find more problems.

And actually what they're doing is they're creating the damage and then going back to the homeowner and saying, well, you need to pony up.

And then they can get quite aggressive then.

So it turns nasty very quickly.

And in this particular case, this John O'Brien, he was quite prolific.

Yeah.

Was it 100 homeowners?

Okay.

Okay, so he was really going to town on this.

And which area are we talking about here?
