Man arrested in connection with alleged abduction attempts

A MAN was questioned yesterday in connection with a number of alleged abduction attempts on teenage girls in north Dublin.

The suspect, a Nigerian national, was arrested by gardaí following what they said was an extensive investigation by officers in the Skerries and Balbriggan areas.

Last Friday, gardaí said they were investigating three separate approaches to three teenagers by a suspicious person in the general Skerries area in the last few weeks.
