The maggots Swedish police say Irish builders put in a wall to deceive homeowners. Polisen Danderyd via Facebook
Swedish police are telling people to avoid Irish builders - because of these maggots
They say the men put the maggots in a wall.
POLICE IN THE Danderyd region of Sweden have warned people about employing Irish builders.
In a Facebook update, the Polisen Danderyd said that they were called to the home of a “little old lady”, who had hired dubious roofers.
They said that the Irish builders, who had a Romanian employee, had torn out the tiles and supporting beams. She said that the Romanian man had “warned her of the Irishman” before police arrived.
Police then interviewed the man and he “had a good heart”.
He himself was exhausted and needed to take every job he could get in order to survive. But he was feeling very bad about working for the Irish. He told me that he’d seen what they have done in other places. How they deceived people.
The man told police that the Irish builders had placed maggots in a wall in order to show customers that they needed new walls.
The post ends by asking people in the region of about 30,000 to spread the word so that it is harder for the Irishmen to get a job.
“Who knows, maybe eventually they disappear from Sweden when they don’t get the job.”
The comments on the post have expressed some disappointment that police chose to mention the nationality of the builders, but many have agreed with the police.
