One of four men accused of taking part in the kidnapping of a Securicor worker and his family and the robbery of the company of €2.28m has been found not guilty after a 45-day long trial.

The jury in the trial of four men accused of kidnapping a Securicor worker and his family before robbing €2.28m has been told that two numbers allegedly linked to the crime belonged to two defendants.

A Securicor cash van driver whose family were held by an armed gang during a Tiger kidnapping six years ago told a trial that he could not drive at one point because he was crying so much.

Four Dublin men have gone on trial accused of the false imprisonment of a family of four and the robbery of €2.28m in cash eight years ago.
